I was wondering what happened with the book. Is it finally out? I do love the Project and I hope this comes a reality.Tamara E.

I think it makes them feel like they've already bought the item in question, and they rarely get around to it.<br /><br />But I'm super excited about the book version, and will absolutely buy it.

I bet there are many potential backers for such a campaign for a wide range of contributions (count me in). And you're definitely good to go with the "proof of concept" they require.<br /><br />Thanks for including Elizabeth Moon on the to-do list. She was the only author in my little collection I missed in the blog posts. And you added (quite) a few books/authors to my wish list when I'll visit my favorite American/English book store in Amsterdam next time.Dave Kerkhovenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-71943166091274214622015-12-29T15:51:09.204+00:002015-12-29T15:51:09.204+00:00Good to hear.

If some authors are interested in your work, I would love to see additional commentary from authors about some of the ideas and themes. Maybe what they were thinking about when they set to writing their own works etc. While it would be cool, it wouldn't put too much effort into the iconic artwork issue. Maybe save that for a special edition after you've sold the first million copies and have the marketing status to negotiate those rights ;)anrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842021568355465913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-90167472962269070862015-12-28T23:13:24.463+00:002015-12-28T23:13:24.463+00:00If I may suggest to include Brent Weeks, Peter V. ...If I may suggest to include Brent Weeks, Peter V.

As a long time reader, I'd be delighted to buy it not only for the value it offers, but also as a way of professing thanks for the countless articles, reviews and news pieces. <br /><br /><br />As a suggestion for the book, I'd say you just have to grab the oppertunity to couple the principle of the series so far with another one you touched on previously with your "bestselling fantasy authors of all time" article. That essential part, which I felt was lacking in the blog posts, is <i>data</i>. Some raw numbers shaped into facts. As a fantasy reader, I am sometimes frustrated at a lack of easy access to the most basic meta-data information about the genre - so, for example, when you write that author such-and-such made this-or-that kind of book more popular, some sort of chart tracking numbers to back the claim (number of books published, sales, or any other reasonable metric) would be fantastic. Not only will this add to the value of the information, taking a deeper look at those facts will either lend credence to your claims or make you revise them and write a more accurate book.<br /><br />I know that kind of research can be extremely difficult and time consuming, and I'm not really 100% sure it is even possible to get accurate information on such matters - but surely you are better positioned than most to try, and including something of the sort could really elevate your book to the next level.<br /><br />I will buy your book either way - but I sure do hope you'll use the opportunity to make it truly great by incorporating even more thorough research into this aspect of the big picture you have yet to touch upon in the blog posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112953245821401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-9194180279835284672015-12-27T18:06:13.494+00:002015-12-27T18:06:13.494+00:00Bravo, Adam!
