I know some on the board is making calenders, But I always like nice coffee table books
or bed side..here is my thoughts if we can get few cool shoots of your car I will have my one of my girls design the book ...(she already does this for wedding and other biz.) maybe one shoot of the car moving one of the inside or motor or any other cool set up..now if we can get enough people to want one,the price is pretty low and its a very cool thing to have even if your car is not in it.

BTW I think some of you guy's have a good eye when it comes to taking photos of your rides....I should know. Click to view attachment ..so just like the calender tread help me make this book a joy to own.

Not to put the kabash on your 914 book idea Jaime - cuz it's great!

I like this book as my coffee table book! Aside from good 914 info inside - it looks so sweet sitting there!

Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon, etc. sell it online, if you don't have it already.

Unfortunately my 914's resto probably won't be done in time for pix, but I'm still interested in one.



PS - I'll bet you could make multi-pic chapters out of some of the 914s out there!

I am totally up for this and would like to join in. Unfortunately me and my car are in Japan but I have taken some cool pics I think that might be interesting for the book. I posted some pics of my car in the calender posting but could send you some if you need and can get more with cool Japanese backgrounds.

Do you want hi-res photos sent to you or the 640x480 versions we post here?

Do like Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld - make a Coffee Table Book Table, but in the 914 Version have a set of fold out Jack-Stands

That would never work silly.....

German cars dont have cup holders and could never effectively support a cup without spilling.

Das Grosse VW-Porsche Book is my coffee table book already

We could certainly do it but it would cost alot and we would need presales, or it would never cover its costs.

Why you want to jump on someone else's action, besides that's your M.O.?

I was thinking of members cars and again its not to make money just to Add to our craziness

It would be hi res

O is some one doing a book?.I just think a book would be more of a keeper? and not hung on a garage wall only?

Sounds like a great idea.

All I need is photos of our members cars and I will do the rest, it can be a group buy but I can do it with just a few people.Now if you want to add this book to your biz we would need to get every one to sign off...

oldschool, my comment was not directed at you, but the person above my comment

Someone shares an idea and you immediately think presales for AA? Is your motive to offer help, or undermine yet another person? Oy. Let Oldschool do it his new school way. Sounds like one of his girls already has the logistics covered.

Now days, we have print-on-demand services. Anybody who has an idea can get it done without expense to themselves.

Pre-sales to a book that would never arrive...complaints to the credit card companies...many, many angry posts here, etc. etc. The beat never stops. Same old M.O.

Sorry had to pile on:)

I'm sorry, is the title of this thread 'AA please save us all?'.

Get your own freakin' ideas, and quit stealing everyone elses.

If you want Hi Res, you should post an email address where everyone can send photos. What we post here is reduced and likely won't give you what you need for a good book.

Also, I have photos I took of others cars over the years. I wonder if I need to get permission from the vehicle owner?... or if these are my photos and I can do as I see fit with them.

You could do one like Kramer and user pop out jack stands as the legs

Knock, Knock, Anyone Home?

I'd totally be down to help with a book, or even just buy a book... as long as AA has NOTHING to do with it.

Jaime, got a time frame for when you'd like pictures? My car is in primer and rat-roddish, but I"d be happy to contribute pics when the snow goes away. (2-3 weeks?)

Yeah yeah, I don't read your filth... I must have missed the last part or just read someone else's post that said it couldn't be done. Maybe I was just too blown away by George's statement.

I would be interested in contributing photos and in buying some copies.

John

The book sounds like something I would definitely buy!

Todd Endlund has a few sweet shots of my old car that would be nice to see in there

Understood Jaime, I was just showing a nice book with a great 914 pic to whet appetites! I'd love a book with members' 914 pix!!!!

I have Das Buch now too, but that one I showed is in English that I can read & understand!

Keep rolling on your project Jaime!

Thanks and if aa wants in he needs to pay for it I just send him a pm

I'd buy it.

Id definetly be in for a book.. I can also contribute photos of my car.. let me know by what time you need them jaime!

How long do you think it would take to clear customs?

If someone was to buy a copy I know I would look at it.

Could you photocopy it for me?

Maybe G has a copy machine.

If a picture of my car is in it I will sign it for you. Free. I'm that kind of guy.

Is your car heavy enough to stay on the page?

The book will weigh more than my car.....

My car would be pure porn for a book like this.....if you could wait until it is out of paint

Any idea of the ETA on your car Doc? Looking forward to seeing the next update/pics.

Probably with in the next 6mo or less. I am not pressuring Scotty to get it done since he hooked me up on a lot of stuff. However, it is pretty close and now that Scotty has a second bay, it will be easier for him to get on it. Soon, it will be engine problems tying me up That SHOULDNT happen, but we all know how that is.

the sooner the better, and also a photo of you and a short 2 line text of something cool to say about the car

Thanks John I think it would be a very cool book, Now we can go hard or soft (covers)

Dude when you come over, I will burn you a copy for your video.

Always happy to help contribute with photos.

I would purchase one of the 914 books cause I love books on my favorite car and I would probably get two especially if my car was inside it, one for me and one to give to my Dad. That would be cool !!

So a few thinks need to happen first, I will work on a few layout for the inside and we need to start to look a the cover art work.Also how many pages, I thing for every one that get's a book I my design a very cool custom T-shirt

It could be of some ones car or just Copy?(text)
Please if you have a few idea's let me know.

Also I think using drop box my be the way to go with big file? But any other file system that you already use would be good.

I will burn a CD with some of my favorite 914 photos that I have taken over the years and mail it to you.

What will be the source of the text? If secondary, do you have permission? Will you give reference?

Pics - will you have ultimate waivers to reproduce? Will credits be given? Will all the legal documents be signed by all parties to release?

Be VERY careful here!
