Ever consider a book? by Morthen on 19 Apr, 2010 17:51

Just another one of my derpy thoughts out of nowhere.
But I've seen lots of great stories, regarding the transition to sly and reactions to being bald and stuff. I just thought it would be a neat idea to compile all these stories into a book it could be sort of a confidence building book for young gents losing their hair.
Anyhow just a thought, what do you guys think?
also if someone has done this already I apologize for my tremendously stupid post -

Even if someone has thought of this before, how would that make it stupid?
I think it's a splendid idea, and a quick search on Amazon didn't turn up anything.
Even though I'm an author, this would be a bit out of my league (I write computer books), but for someone who is good at interviewing folks and compiling stories, it'd be a great project. -

Sounds like a good idea with a potentially large market. As an author myself its a great experience.

Oooops, never mind. Thought maybe you wrote novels with a computer world background.

LOL! Sometimes I do think that's the reaction some of my reader's have when they get in over their heads.

Hey bootedbear -- I just finished the final round of edits on Beginning Drupal 7 for Apress Publishing. Drupal is a web content management system. So like you -- in the IT arena. My second book is underway -- Pro Drupal Development 3rd Edition, also published by Apress.

Very cool, Todd! Is that your first book?
(Does it not seem that the "final round of edits" never seems to end?)
