But my main concern now is for the WMB and NER and to get them out in a organized storefront-Housing (storage),shipping cost, Reliable Order of packaging and shipping- which in the end comes out to be a part time job-( so in the end we have created a worthwhile exchange)

Creativity must have this once again-

Understood.  I'm just poking around to ensure we have some good priorities as far as the reprinting project is concerned. 

So far everything looks good.

Experience speaks LOL Hey SG?

Damn straight.  WMB is a nightmare as far as formatting is concerned.  The layout and style are a bit different as well.  NER is more traditional in the writing format, but WMB is written almost like some of the newspapers of old, what with the paragraph / sectional titles that announce the main idea of the next paragraph in question.  A unique and admittedly successful way to approach the issue of getting the facts out and about but overall pretty hard on the bold button!

Each has their place in the grand scheme of things, so I don't begrudge Klassen too much in that regard. 

While reading your post I thought about this- what if you tried fitting both books into a book the size of Portfolio One?

Not necessary to get it quite that big.  8.5" x 11" is large even by the standards of a hardback book, but this is the target to aim for because it is easy to print with and will allow a good deal of print density.  Beyond that size they begin to become a little hard to handle.  Portfolio One is positively unwieldy. 

I agree with you to add a different binding look- but to honor BEN KLASSEN I wanted to do a first edition look-and it was cheaper- I got the first 100 books- and if we wanted to get 20 million NER and WMB out to the White Race- it would be kind of lame to all have the same looking book

No objections here.  I agree with what you are doing.  I feel that as things get further along, we ought to have a special edition printed in low quantity that combines several books into a single, classy volume.  A good way to honor the Word and Faith, as I see it. 

It is an idea for the publishers if everything goes right for them with the first books.

Exactly.  I'm not saying we drop everything right now and jump on that.  I'd argue that we ought to consider it a little bit later down the road.

I had an idea some years back about a collector's edition of the Holy Books.  Specifically, the concept I had in mind was a single large-format book that is a combination of the first 3 Holy Books (NER, WMB, and SL) combined into one volume. 

The book would look similar to those quality volumes you get from some place like http://www.eastonpressbooks.com.  In other words we ought to have a definitive edition of our Holy Books in a form and format that actually looks like a high-quality bible.

I had in mind 8.5" x 11" pages, or perhaps somewhat smaller, gold gilding on the page edges, acid-free pages, integrated silk ribbon bookmark, genuine leather covers with gold gilt highlights, saddle-stitched signatures, etc.

The total # of pages for this would be a bit shy of 1,000 by my reckoning.  I'm not sure of the prices per unit but there's more than a few of us out there that would spring for a super-quality edition.

Any thoughts or feedback?

R!

Reprint Little White Book

Not sure where this goes, so it goes here.

Brothers!  Before we get going with reprinting AET we first and foremost ought to see "The Little White Book" reprinted.  The concise distillation of our Creed is a great propaganda for those who are trying to sell our Faith to potential new converts.

I'd strongly suggest we get mass copies of these reprinted for getting the message out.  The only necessary change would be to change the ending address from Matt Hale's in Peoria to a few webpage addresses.

Agreed.  Either hidden or partially hidden is the way to go.  It puts more cards in our stack that way.

BTW, there are a few webpages that allow throwaway registrations and email addresses, where someone puts in the registration info and then gets to surf around for free.  Watch out for these in the IP address lists.  www.bugmenot.com is something similar to it, for example.
