....one abit perhaps special-- 1stBooks Library, link--www.1stbooks.comwww.1stbooks.com

i think we should attempt submitting it first to a Publisher who will publish it at thier own cost first.... if tghat fails we have a fund drive.... i have already spoken to garg and am waiting on a reply from him for that..... and do it ourselves.... it might be better just to do it ourselves.... we could also have a PDF electronic file that could be sold online....

agreed

A site I know of for self publishing, which we may have to take into serious consideration ~
http://www.iuniverse.com/

And also a site for anyone who feels a little worried about the copyrights to their work. Although all contributers will retain full rights to their work, I thought this might make it a little more comforting for some people ~

Garg has notified me that if it is not accepted for publication we can use the sites PayPal for Donations.... the only problem is if we do not recieve enough donations to pay for it... in that case i would suggest selling it first as a PDF Electronic online book and take the proceeds to pay for a real one to be published.... possibly giving a discount to those who bought the online version who might want a real version....

let me know what you think...

They seem quite expensive, though I don't know how they compare with others of the type. What they do have is a special service for picture intensive books which this one looks like it may well be.

One of the points they raised would be worth bearing in mind whatever decision is reached however - are the pictures that look perfectly good on the screen here of a high enough resolution quality to look good in print? (If someone has already raised the point, then my apologies - I haven't seen it asked elsewhere.)
