Anu,?




If the material would benefit from a larger format & color then I say go for it.

You did a great job on the original DG and I would certainly buy an updated hard-copy version.

Especially if it includes more PEK/PER specific information.

If you have topics you want me to go into which the original didn't cover, let me know.

Finally, my plan is to "publish" this as an actual hold-in-your-hands book through Blurb.com.

Blurb has several different sizes available, as well as hard cover and soft cover options. If I do black and white pages at 5"x8", the softcover would be $7 and the hardcover would be $21, assuming I don't try to actually make any money selling them.

Would you prefer a larger size and color pages for more cost?

I will offer both hard- and soft-cover versions. Having already made both before, I can say the hardcover is a top-notch quality product.

Th anks!

Fellow Evolver-heads:
I am (finally) working on the "second edition" of the Definitive Guide.

I am correcting numerous inaccuracies in the original text.
I am adding more tips, tricks, and best practices.
I am adding information about/specific to the Poly Keyboard.

If you have suggestions, comments, or tips you want to share, please let me know. 

If you have topics you want me to go into which the original didn't cover, let me know.

Finally, my plan is to "publish" this as an actual hold-in-your-hands book through Blurb.com.

Blurb has several different sizes available, as well as hard cover and soft cover options. If I do black and white pages at 5"x8", the softcover would be $7 and the hardcover would be $21, assuming I don't try to actually make any money selling them.

Would you prefer a larger size and color pages for more cost?

I will offer both hard- and soft-cover versions. Having already made both before, I can say the hardcover is a top-notch quality product.

Thanks!

Fellow Evolver-heads:
I am (finally) working on the "second edition" of the Definitive Guide.

I am correcting numerous inaccuracies in the original text.
I am adding more tips, tricks, and best practices.
I am adding information about/specific to the Poly Keyboard.

If you have suggestions, comments, or tips you want to share, please let
me know. 

If you have topics you want me to go into which the original didn't
cover, let me know.

Finally, my plan is to "publish" this as an actual hold-in-your-hands
book through Blurb.com.

Blurb has several different sizes available, as well as hard cover and
soft cover options. If I do black and white pages at 5"x8", the
softcover would be $7 and the hardcover would be $21, assuming I don't
try to actually make any money selling them.

Would you prefer a larger size and color pages for more cost?

I will offer both hard- and soft-cover versions. Having already made
both before, I can say the hardcover is a top-notch quality product.

Thanks!

Hi Anu,

Thanks for creating and generously sharing your first class, top shelf,
first edition of The Definitive Guide. You really nailed it as a
companion piece, not only to the DSI manuals, but to evolving eVolver
owners. For me, your 4 1/2 pages on Hard Sync, with its guided hands-on
technique, was a perfect introduction for understanding, creating, and
messing with the Hard Sync sound.

I highly recommend that you check-0ut Lulu.com for publishing the second
edition. Their print-on-demand model means no initial outlay for you. 
You can create eBooks, and select your options for softcover and
harcover editions. Their quality is excellent. Their commission is
very reasonable. They offertheir own storefront as well as marketing
arrangements with Amazon.

Based on the very readable format on the first edition, I recommend a
standard landscape layout. You may want to offer a coil-wrap binding
for the softcover so that your readers can lay the book flat while
working-out your excercises. Others may have a different opinon on the
binding.

Good luck!

Bob
