Sell it! Although I do prefer the online version, its loose and it hasn’t been fingered. Now for some more thoughts…

Ever since reading that first list of… what was it, 7 or 9… items I was hoping you’ld continue to build on them. You have and I started hoping you’ld publish them (the old fashioned way, that is).
Yep, I will buy it and will definitely plug it to people who’ll understand and applaud it, and of course to people who definetely need it.
Hmm… funny how I don’t expect those groups to overlap; funny Venn diagramm there.

Fantastic concept.
Small is definitely better when it comes to dishing out highly concentrated useful advice.
Your work has evolved since I first discovered your site. It has gone from entertainment to entertainment with a help flow. The black humor makes it highly palatable to talented cynics who need encouragement, even when they deny such is possible.
Put me down for ten copies.
Will it be ready by Christmas?

Just whack all your best posts together, use your outline as a logic map (of sorts ?) and go take a look at http://www.lulu.com (Robert Young of Red Hat fame’s most recent initiative).
You’ll have a great book ready to be published a week from when you start. And lulu.com will help you get that done for free (except for your time of course).

The contemporary salient difference between a book and a web page is like the difference between a letter and an e-mail. The former is an opportunity to create a multisensory ritual artifact. If you publish the book, make it gorgeous and sensory. Just the web on paper doesn’t interest me. But a beautifully produced, well-edited Hughtrain, maybe even delivered with a toy train-car.…
Even if that’s too fey, you still get my drift. It’s not just about content, it’s about firing off more of those creative synapses, as you keep reminding us.

RichW: How about a “Sex and Cash Pyro-Laser and Mega-Monster-Truck on Ice” tour? And I claim my 2%! Beat that!

Great news, Hugh! People I know who have read it on your site think it’s full of common sense yet deeply insightful… Kinda like the Buddha! It’ll do well.
Ben Wharton?! Fancy seeing you here! *^_^*

AcouSvnt has a point… but Hugh could do that selling t-shirts with selected cartoons and the a “Sex & Cash” logo.
Can I get 1% for bringing that up?

Good for you. I want a copy. My wife wan artist in New York, turned an Amazon.com amazonian turned mom of several boy wildebeasts at home once said that “when rich people get together they like to spend a lot of time talking about art whereas when artists get together they spend all their time talking about money.” It’s great that you will talking about both!

P.S. I keep misreading “Watercooler Gang” as “Watercolor Gang”.
