p.s. I'm working on making a proposal for a book based on this site, but I need examples of books that are similar, so if you know of any books based on blogs, books about collections of themed stuff, books about daily projects or heck books about skull images make a comment about it below. Thanks!
That is the BEST idea, love it!!! It will be an incredible book. We have an acquaintance who did a book on manhole covers - try Amazon - look for Manhole Covers Melnick
ReplyDeleteWell the only book I know of that came from a blog are the Post Secret books.
ReplyDeleteI know this guy:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.slushpile.net/index.php/2006/05/17/interview-jeremie-ruby-strauss/
He regularly puts out books from blogs, but they have to be superpopular with a certain amount of readers. He's definitely interested in putting out what will sell to the mainstream.
My friend Meirav has a friend Tucker, not Tucker Max but another one, I forget his last name, who did a blog taking a photo of everything he ate for a year. He sold that to be a book, but I don't know what publisher. Let me know if you want me to find out more info.
The Skull Project Book looks like a steal at $150... tho not sure who is stealing from who given that the skulls are by contributing artists.

I know one blogger
ReplyDeletewho has just finished a book based on her blog, and a second who is currently working on one. Nothing to do with skulls though! :)
Thanks for the link to my Diary Project, I really appreciate it.
