I have been approached by some adoptive parents with the suggestion of makingthe Raising Colombian Kids Blog into a book, with the profits going to help fundthe charity Friends of Colombian Orphans. Before I spend the hours required tomake this a reality, I wanted to know the level of interest in purchasing thebook. I plan to use BLURB.com and the price will vary depending on how manypages I decide to put in the book and the quality of book you'd be interested inbuying.The costs of self publishing are kind of high -- though there is a 10% discountif you purchase 10 copies or more. How much would people be willing to pay? Which topics would you want in the book? Which things should I leave out? Whatother things would you want included before publishing?Here are the prices as quoted on BlurbPages Softcover, Hardcover, ImageWrap20-40 US $19.95 US $29.95 US $31.9541-80 US $24.95 US $35.95 US $37.9581-120 US $29.95 US $41.95 US $44.95121-160 US $36.95 US $49.95 US $52.95161-200 US $43.95 US $56.95 US $60.95201-240 US $50.95 US $64.95 US $69.95241-280 US $57.95 US $71.95 US $76.95I will add $10 to the price for the donation to Friends of Colombian Orphans andyou will need to pay for shipping. So far I have 6 buyers in Australia (thanksCarina) but what kind of response would I get from people here in the US andCanada.Making the book will be very time intensive, even though the content is slurppedup from the blog by Blurb, you have to order it and place the pictures -- whichis another story -- I'll need picture donations as I cannot freely use theFLICKR pictures if I publish the book -- though I am working on gettingpermissions. If you have pictures that you would be willing to give me therights to, or if you are an artist or illustrator and would like to donate adrawing or two please contact me privately.For more info on the organization for Colombian Orphans -- click here:[URL="http://www.friendsofcolombianorphans.org/#site/mission"] style=" color:rgb(36,124,212);"http://www.friendsofcolombianorphans.org/#site/mission[/URL]
