I've sent an email to the OP outlining my experience and desire to help with the project. I hope to be 'picked' to help. I also look forward to seeing this book at it's completion whether I get picked or not. As a n00b to the board (when can I stop being a newb? is it a month? two months?) I am excited by the news of a book and I hope that I can help.

I don't have the skills either and too many doctor appointments this month with my daughter.

I guess i could help, ive got the time. But ive never done anything liek this before. i have done two research projects though. one is the most flagged project in the research forum Ill send you an email ig uess.

i have lots and lots of time, i'd be willing to do w/e to help

i've had 2 U2U's about this so ya'll need people still

but U2U me if you still need help, i am more than willing

i have friends who have published their works in magazines, so i don't have first hand experience but i'd be able to ask a few people for help if needed

but i do have 3-4 hours each day to give (if not more)

good luck with the book

as a few people said already i dont really have any special skills what so ever but i just so happen to have a ton of time in my hands for the next 2 or 3 weeks. so if you need help researching heh i could maybe be of some use. if not thats cool, Im mostly glad to see ATS going places. its really exciting

If you need help let me know.

I am a data analyst for the government and do research.

I'd be glad to help, but reading through posts here on ATS, some of these members, really know their stuff, I doubt I would know where to start in doing the needed research, but if given a push in the right direction, I have the time.

Well ive sent you a email to that address in the graphics, so i guess ill wait to see if you reply

I've sent an email and am more than happy to assist in any way possible. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of something really special here at ATS.

SO I don't have the time or experience that you are looking for. but I would buy the book today if I could I became a member sometime in 11/07. I remember what brought me to ATS. You can have my real name because I have nothing to hide. I came to ATS to learn and that I have.

Thank you ATS.

Would autographed copies be involved?

The book will hit the shelves (and our site) in September or October, 2008...the lead times are unreal...

Wow, takes longer to get it in print that to write it.

Will we be getting 'snippets' before October, perhaps?

Hey Springer...

I had a dream last night about an ATS book...

I was on the site and able to click on a link that said,

"Hardcover Member Logs"

...and for 29.95...

...I could purchase a custom print log of any member's OP's and posts from thier first day, through the date of my purchase....

The book read in chronological order with reference to thread title and date. Plain text with embedded hypertext spelled out; no printed pictures. Some members even had multiple volumes for sale.

90 day processing time, proceeds benefited both the author and the site; or strictly the site at the authors call. Members could opt-out, if they so choose, from being on the print list. It all ran through a printing warehouse that took digital orders. Members only could order and there was a plan to implement a cheaper paper back.

I'd buy Loam's encyclopaedia.... volume 1-10 and you'd have the equivalent to a doctorate in environmental science.



I am,
