Publishing something on the Internet does not always mean that you can not publish it later in bookform - sometimes you will see that a web page or a blog have followers/fans that will be more then happy to own the project in bookform - makes the marketing easier Doing a book though - you will have to prioritize the things the web can not do - print in the best possible quality - make the book a functional object that communicates with the user in a way the web can not. Make it something that you must have when first you have picked it up - hook up with designer or someone who really knows the how to optimize printing and at the same time can give the book typographic layout the does not try to overshine your work but indeed compliments it. Should you get closer to a publishing deal you are more then welcome to contact me for a good advise I currently do not publish books on photography because the market in Denmark is very small and we were actually loosing a lot on doing so BUT the years we did actually made our other books look even better because of the experience we got from printing art photogrphy. Many of our photographic books whon prizes and later many of our books with in art/ arts and crafts and design has been awarded. We did do one book once in BW - not in mono - not in duplex/triplex but in sixplex(no such word :-)) 2 blacks and 4 greys - sixcolourprinting and laquer - that was a challange and a situation where the printer said no way at first - and first after I took full responsibility he agreed to to the job- he was amazed afterwords ! good luck with your project kind regards Ruben Ted Grant skrev: > Eric offered: > Subject: Re: [Leica] "I'm an Endangered Species." > > >> Ted: >> >> I don't know all the ins and outs of the publishing game.
