I joined the LUG while the project was in its final stages, too late to submit anything. I have a copy of the book, though. The lack of commercial interest is because it is always easier and cheaper to produce something, but far more difficult and expensive to market it effectively. We cannot turn up our nose at the game we are required to play for our output to succeed within industries like publishing and art, and in the same breath bemoan the fact that no one notices our work. The world just does not work that way.
