Book
John recently pointed out that CafePress will soon start doing on-demand book publishing. So with the same ease that they make a mug or t-shirt with your design, they will be able to print your book. It revives in me that long-dormant idea to someday publish some of my weblog writings as a book.
Not that I know anyone who would want to buy such a thing, but it’s a cool idea nonetheless. Not just in a “look I’m a published author” sense, but also in the “look I designed a book” sense. I love cover designs and typography; often those intrigue me more than the actual words when I’m browsing in the bookstore. (That reminds me: thanks to my friend Michele for the new Harry Potter book, with its iridescent blue cover.)
If I ever do a book based on this site, at least I won’t have to work too hard thinking of a title. (The subtitle might be a little harder to decide on.)
Remember, it’s not a vanity press. It’s a limited edition.
