I wonder about books in this digital age.
Two suggestions:
1) Sell a virtual book of images...low production costs.
2) Don't do a book, try a BOX of display images.
There is a local scrapbook store that sells boxes.
Sell a boxed portfolio of your photos.
The problem with option #1 is that there is no way to ensure what
your images/photos/whathaveyou will look like on a purchaser's
screen. Lenswork is doing this with their Lenswork Extra CD
editions ... the user interface is only just "OK", and I luckily have
a high quality monitor with proper calibration so I think I'm seeing
about 50-60% of what a printed book or folio might be. But I
subscribe to both the print and CD versions of the magazine ... and
there's no comparison to the printed magazine.
