Have you tried:
RockPort
Phaidonthey do books for the creative industry.
Also, it maybe worth emailing the publisher that printed the book I love Dust did to raise money for the people of 9/11 as it is a similar idea. I have the book at home so I can find out, unless you already know
- digdre0
Laurence King maybe

"The A Better Tomorrow book was born in December 2008, when Mike Giesser, along with a few others, had an idea for a project that would take advantage of the many talented up-and-coming and established"
dont remember this being mike giessers idea !
- I think it was actually Digdre idea, remember the 'orso' thread & I proposed it should be done for Pactrick. Rest of work is done by Mike, Marco, Renée & many othersKiggen
- it was done my Mike, Marco, Rene & many othersKiggen
- All the design, organisation, etc they did, so credit is for them ofcourseKiggen

actually kiggen kinda right and wrong
rybo's idea originally, he made the thread where every QBNr posted their own logo. it was a suggestion there that then got manifested into an actually portfolio book by diggy
- well the ideao of a NT / QBN book has been around fro years and suggested by dozen members...Kiggen
- didnt know that

to clarify, no it wasn't just me, thus it says "along with others" it did start with the logo idea and I personally thought that was a bit lame and couldn't see people making a substantial payment towards a 25+ page book, so I suggested doing a compendium of QBN designers work under no specific theme and we continued to build upon that...
Bart is also right as we have batted the book idea around for years..
- cool - now have u got a publisher otherwise give me the book spec so i can get a quoteWeLoveNoise
- we have no specs in terms of paper etc, all we have is page count, page size and the fact that we'd like it to be hardcover..neue75_bold
- hardcover...neue75_bold
- we have sent a couple more requests on to taschen, princeton architectural press... will send to victionary today..neue75_bold
- and I'm waiting for a friend to send me her contact at Phaidon..neue75_bold

ok dont u want specific thing like spot UV, emboss on the cover - i'm not really print savvy so dnt think me saying how much will u charge for 100page book in colour is a enough for get a quote from
- indeed, that's why we're dealing with a publisher who then deals with the printer and comes back to us with a proposalneue75_bold
- then we negotiate with both and try to find a reasonable compromise..neue75_bold
- we'd love to do lot's of nice finishing bells and whistles, but that's a bit secondary at this stage..neue75_bold
