If someone would be willing to write and edit such a book, I may consider publishing
it for the animation community.
But, remember, this is not a sure thing yet. I have to still complete the process of
rebuilding my printing press. It needed a little bit of work. When finished, I will
have the capability of printing on 11x17 pieces of paper stock with a single color per
pass.
As for binding, we can send it to one of many book binders. We might even consider a
spriral binding.
Let me know if anyone is interested in a joint venture on any subject.
