First , thanks to Doug for allowing me to use this forum to talk about a coffee table book I want to create just for the RV aircraft community.
Having just finished a coffee table book for the canard community titled, "The Big Book of Canards", it's time to start on one for the RV community. This book can be found in digital form at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/BookofCanards/
Since there are tons of photos already taken of RV aircraft from around the world (during construction, on the ground, in flight, IP's, etc) I thought I'd solicit for donation photos, (all the photos in the canard book were donated as well). Having looked at many over the years, there are some absolutely beautiful ones out there and it's nice to have them all under one roof (coffee table book) so to speak. Of course all donated photo's will have your name/photo credits and any info included in the book as well. Take a look at "The Big Book of Canards" (www.pursuitofflight.com) and you'll get a feel for how the RV coffee table book will be handled. That book is 12 inches wide by 10 inches tall with 80 pages of photos. Given the number of different models, I expect the RV book will be somewhere around 100 or so pages, give or take a few, depending on the number and quality of donated photos.
Since the canard community is rather small, that book is printed on demand, one at a time, thus the reason for the higher cost of $85 each. For the RV coffee table book, I expect it'll be in the $50-$60 range since we'll be printing a lot in one printing run.
If you decide to donate some photos you can send them through email to me or you can mail them on a CD. The photos need to be high resolution images, preferably taken with a digital camera. Slides and scanned photos are welcome as well. We need at least 200dpi or better for printing. I'll need as much info about the photograph as you can supply, the typical who, what, where and when information, at the very least who took the photos.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or email me.
Best regards,
Bruce Sturgill
