Well, I have thought about it for a while and am still in the process of finding out what it would look like.
Of course it would have more than just the poetry on this site, the ones by me of course, but some previously unpublished poems as well. Each section will be divided up by their own respective category and each category have an illustration.
Some poems *might* also have a description underneith to explain why certain words were used or perhaps what the meaning of something is.. but still not 100% sure. |

The book pricing is a lot different than what I previously thought... So I'm not 100% sure if this idea is still a go. I would have to sell the book (which would be around 100-110 pages) for around $15 to see any sort of reasonable profit. So instead, I have thought about possibly offering an e-book version of the same book for a lot less money, then if you want, print it off and create your own hard-copy.
Another problem is Microsoft... well, Microsoft Word. For some reason, the programmers felt it was best if it worked automatically on all queries... which is, WRONG!
Setting up the page numbers is horrific. The Front Matter and the Content Matter is not numbered the same way... However, Word makes it difficult to do this. I have been working on this specifically for almost a week now. It's Crap. Total Crap. Not just regular crap, but the green kind that everyone hates. Yes. It's a big chunky green piece of crap. With lots of corn. |
