New product idea (book) - Feedback please!

[Dave J]

sounds good to me

[Paul Barton]

Great idea. You could ask for volunteers to write a species entry each.

This is a top idea, but unless you've already spoken with a publisher you may be shocked at the actual retail price, you have to be sure to sell a mountain of books to hit 10-15 per unit, my mates book came out at 45 per unit.

Put me down for a copy, sounds like a great concept and extremely useful for an arb.

Based on Senior Managments instant love affair with her Christmas present Amazon Kindle.

(This is/was someone who was always passionate about the tactile pleasure of real paper books being an important part of the reading experience.)

I would forget about hard copy and keep it or publish it "in the cloud"

The facility for real-time addendum and correction should also be good.

Perhaps a "sudden Ash die-back" map kept updated? (from an absolute non tree qualified person, merely as an example)

Links to "you tube" or wherever sited explanatory/demonstrative video clips perhaps.

Absolutly to incl hi-res still photographs, a GOOD photo still being worth a thousand words

I also appear to be a proper Luddite in not owning or using a smart phone.

Don't let publishing costs put you off.

Best idea I've heard for a long time, I suspect the final price will be higher than suggested, but I'd buy it. Ticks all the boxes an arb might require.

Keep the momentum going.

id defo be wanting one.

 

id make a donation to the fund the book/cloud thingy.

would it be a consideration to be an online entity. and a small pocket book *possibly later.

 

would there be funding/grant from the AA or the ISA for something like this they would have more info and a lot of people to call on for information.

 

keep us updated on here when you do start it as that will bulid intrest and maybey a show launch as youll have a big audience straight away.

 

get jonsie and honey bros to do a special offer for the first 2 days of sale or something. hope anything i said helps you out
