    Default Publishing a book of Crappie Fishing Poems


    We've got some great poems on the Poem Contest thread, and it's been suggested that we put together a book and publish the poems.

    http://www.crappie.com/crappie/main-...t-fishing.html

    Sounds like a great idea at first, but I kinda wonder if it would work. First off, the poems are all available right here for free. Secondly, to try to find a publisher to produce, market and distribute the books has to cost a small fortune.

    So, I think if I simply sell them here online, it's pointless because all you have to do is print the thread. And, in my opinion, there's no way to get the funding to gamble on an official "book" found in real book stores!

    The only thing I can think of, would be to create a kinda pamphlet, with some photos off the site. Make it real nice, and of course inexpensive, and sell it for minimal here on Crappie.com. Essentially just a convenience to be used as a gift or coffee table booklet by our members.

    That might be nice. Let me know what your thoughts are.

    And of course, I'd have to get permission from you all, the authors. But I think this minimal, inexpensive route might be good.

    Feel free to use mine, but it's hard to believe there would be any kind of market for this.
