Has any thought been put into using a service like http://www.blurb.com/ to get the books printed? Since it looks like all proceeds are going to the foundation, not sure how that would work, but it would essentially let people order one-off books whenever they wanted to.

yes!

is that the official book or just a preview? as in are there more people going to be in it?

i believe it had something to do with being on a list that was approved by a member who put a cap on the limit then other member(s) took out what they did not like in the form of "editing" to arrive at the book still yet publicly unpublished.

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

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
