The cost for a small softcover portfolio would be quite reasonable. One new book must be purchased each time a change is made, so you would want to "gang up" the changes. V.

Can't wait for it to arrive so I can share your work with friends of mine who are more analog than digital. :) I've been a fan of yours for a while. In fact, I recommend your website on my Text Isle Patchwork site under my "Resources for Learning to Quilt" section: http://www.textislepatchwork.com/Library_of_Lists.html#Intersections,_Part_One Thanks and Best, Becky Wolsk Washington, DC www.textislepatchwork.com Virginia,

Excellent points all the way through. No real expense on your end to write the book unlike traditional publishers where it is required to actually print a minimum of 500 books and pay up front for the paper expense (which has been skyrocketing the last 5 years). I much more enjoy the behind the scenes, artist vision books instead of "how to" or process work. I'm wondering if it is possible using Blurb, to use it (POD) for a Portfolio and continue to update the original book as new work is completed. Would be an interesting idea down the road anyways.
