Moebius, Your point is well taken. When one begins a venture like this, one must be concerned with copyright issues. But copyright aside, we need to look at what type of book we would want. And by we, I'm not implying you or me, but we as a whole or the community at large. In order to get a concept of the kind of book/anthology we'd want, I'd like to throw some things out on the table. How many books would be considered a good quantity? By that, I mean how many books would give us the cost break we'd need to produce a book of quality but not empty the pocketbook? How many pages would be sufficient? I've looked through several books I have here and around 100 pages seems to be the right amount and the popular size is 9 x 12 give or take a quarter inch. We'd have to charge enough for the book to pay for it. Do we want to make just enough money to pay for the publication, or do we want to make a profit on it, so that money could be reinvested into the next book, making the next venture better than the one before. What if the book became a "hot item"? Are there enough people willing to work on the project to handle it. Something else to consider as well. Would artists be allowed to comment on their work, or would we want to encourage some kind of prose/poetry writing as I've seen done in several art books. I guess you can tell that my interest has been sparked and I'd be interested in pursuing your ideas. Not long ago, I contacted Renderosity about developing a calendar from various artists. I myself collect Boris calendars and thought the idea would be an interesting project. I'd be intested in explaining my thoughts about it, if you'd be interested in hearing them. It wouldn't be as undaunting a project as a book, but still serve the same purpose--exposing the work of the artists this community represents. I'm sure there are a few others out there that would be interested a project like this, be it a calendar or book. As a graphic designer I can tell you that creating the book won't be nearly as difficult as simply setting the ground rules and getting the guidelines together so that everyone is working toward the same goal.
