I think the financial issues should be clarified before going further:
- POD or shell out money for a print run?
- who gets money for what and why?

This list is encouraging but I have been informed we don't need all this info just who is willing to send me their best print or scan.

Just to let you know, I will take them and log them in so that only I will know who's is who's. I'll number the prints and send them onto Michael who will evaluate them and determine which ones would go into the book. The greater the number of entries the lower the cost to the artist who are picked because those numbers will also determine how big the book will be.

Cost has always been a factor. If the cost is to high we will work on ways to bring it down without sacrificing quality that is were having more folks involved will be beneficial. If after everything thar can be done has been done and the cost is still to high then we can start looking to less expensive avenues but until then let's exhaust all options with this plan first.

My goal from the beginning has been to create a book that is as much art as the art that fills it and Sean has given Michael high praise by directing me to Lodima press for this project.

how about a print scan first to see what passes muster as images that need to proceed to be looked at in person? Otherwise, there could be tons of valuable prints sat around potentially being damaged, mishandled, and how do the unsuccessful ones get returned? Seems like a lot of logistics need to be figured out.

I have created a main project page and a dedicated submissions gallery. If this looks ok to you guys I will start promoting it in other areas. Thanks!

Sean-

I clicked on the link to the APUG book project gallery and I get an error message that I don't have sufficient permissions to see the gallery. Is it a bad link, or is the gallery not yet ready to receive submissions?
