I can see this is a hot topic. I, too, am a collector of art books and love Spectrum. I just purchased Spectrum 9 and can't wait for it to get here. I think what concerned me when Renderosity first started out offering the art posters was the price. In my opinion, I thought it quite steep ($65). I am in the printing field, and I understand the costs associated with reproducing posters and quanitity is the major factor driving the price of reproducing them. I don't know what solution would best solve this problem, however, an anthology is a nice idea, but don't necessarily think comments in the gallery should be the driving force behind the selection. I've seen many nice, even great images, in the gallery, but no one bothers to comment on them. I'm guilty of not commenting on everything, mostly due to the time I have available to be online. Perhaps artists could make submissions to an anthology, much like artists submit work to the Spectrum or 3DWorld. Only the best make it to print.
