could this book be printed by an online printer like lulu or blurb as a short-term compromise?

Why is this kid getting so much stick (sorry can't make it out from this thread?) also that qbn book is unpublished too so far isn't it?
- wholly different time frame, intent and level of organisation there, mogwai.Nairn
- to be fair, digdre nearly started as many threads about the qbn book as rybo did about this.skt
- heyhey. don't blame me for it now.digdre
- so no real answer thenmust_dash
- I did it for good will.digdre
- i'm only winding you up digdre, it was monospaced that started most of them.skt

I agree - the kid has been treated like a pariah since that thread in January at least. It's not fair. I like the fact that QBN is full of people who don't take any shit and aren't worried about being overly nice when there's no need, but the stick he's got is too much imo.

is it because you spent time creating something when you could of been bullying people on here or something?

just after an answer? is it because he came across too cocky and didn't deliver?
- mistermik0
you related to him? or you got a book to publish?

Well he did something apparently provoking comments like this

ahh, mimeartst white knighting... and you have always been such an encouraging presence on this site.
in answer to your question he was an arrogant little twat that refused to listen to advice, insulted numerous people that tried to help him and then to top it all off stole another qbn members website (copy and pasted the code wholesale) and then put it up for crit on here.

hes not that bad as people r making out
i dont know about any site being ripped off but i know he tries his best given the fact he has made a very bad first impression. he has tried time after time to apologise with people bringing up old shit all the time and generally not letting it slide
end of the day, hes done the fuckin book and has a good collection of work donated from alot of well known sources. last thing he is going to do is claim it as his own as he has alot more integrity you lot give him credit for
end of the day - anyone who chooses to constantly abuse him is just a blatent bully

This story sounds so familiar much like the the (ABT) A Better Tomorrow Book, just sayin.

Rybo, you mentioned that you used blurb to produce the prototype copies..
But you can also sell this book from blurb .. apparently you get to set your own price and keep 100% of the profits - so all profits could still go to whichever autism society is associated with the book.

Why not do that? No publishing deal would be required.

1. Sell it on blurb.
2. Buy a couple copies for yourself.
3. Take those copies to local boutiques/bookstores and explain it to the owners, try and get them to stock a few copies.
4. If step 3 works well enough, use it to help find an actual publisher.
