Just bought B. Andersons 911 Perf. Handbook Options

Although it doesnt pertain to my 914-4, there is gobs of info here, and The Barnes/Noble gift card I had in my wallet since Christmas finally paid off!

I agree, there is definitely room to do a "914 performance handbook". But probably not enough of a market to make it profitable.

okay - i've seen the commercials about "getting published."

i'm a writer, photographer, editor, graphic designer, been and around the publishing field for about 30 years (on the production side) and 4 year veteran of PCA newsletter production with a bunch of PageMaker experience (and being courted by RTR to do it again here...)

i agree with Dave insofar as 914 people in particular, and racer people in general are - ah - frugal. so nevermind the perfect binding, the 4-color covers (beyond what inkjet can reasonably accomplish) and the other glitz.

but i've always thought the "document on demand" concept had merit ever since the introduction of the first 300 dpi LaserJet - the hardware and software tools available nowadays are far superior to what we had available 20 yrs ago. there's also the DTP-to-CD option (PDF's) in which case you're selling just the content, people can print their own personal copies of the pages (after which, of course, the CD self-destructs to prevent copying :-) ...)

or you presume from the get-go that there will be no profit in it and put everything on the web for free...

i'm not in a position to bankroll such a project, and i would expect a measurable (not necessarily huge) return for the expenditure of my time - but if people are serious about putting together some kind of project, i'd like to be part of the team.
