Reply to COTPATD - The Book?
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
So, I've been thinking about something lately. Shortly after Tim finished COTPATD, I told him that he should release what he wrote as a physical paper book. Not that a publisher would be interested (the target audience is a bit too niche, haha), but there's quite a few self-publish print-on-demand solutions out there. It isn't too difficult (you can do it with something like Microsoft Word, as I did for DinkC Reference and a book for Carrie's Dam Beavers comic).
Alas, he wasn't interested, and said "Y'know, if I'd thought I was writing a book I'd have tried to write it better than I did."
I still like the idea of having a copy of COTPATD in book form, as a reminder of what I, Tim, and everyone else here has worked on over the years.
I'm thinking about spending some of my vacation time around Christmas to create the book. Formatting it, performing minor grammatical and other fixes as appropriate. If it goes well, I could have it available for purchase for the minimum price (with no profit going towards me, as with the DinkC Reference) if other people want a copy.
Is that crazy? Should I just leave this alone? Should I get permission from Cocomom? Would anyone else here want a copy?
