Damn, go away from the PC for a day and someone always beats you to it.
I would agree with Charlie that the most practical solution is an on line publication, probably with teaser paragraphhs and links. Although I like the idea of a "real" book, I feel, as Steve does, that we would never sell enough to cover costs, and Kat, even if we could find someone to give a grant or sponsorship, it seems to me that the practicalities of divvying that up internationally would take as much time as the book itself. Finally just who amongst is, despite their initial enthusiasm, really going to give up their 'Catting time to do the research, writing etc.?
