Dear forum friends and lurkers, if I were to have a compilation of all the Cheese Pirate comics + some bonus material printed in the future (when there are enough strips to fill a book), would you consider buying one? (For what the printing costs mind you - I'm not making any money on this.)

Would you prefer it to be as cheap as possible, or printed in full colour, or something inbetween?

With print on demand services like Blurb, I could do a compilation even if just a few people are interested.

Also, what sort of price range would be acceptable? Would you like to see any bonus material included in particular? Hardback? Paperback? Background stories on any of the characters? Should I include explanations to each strip, for people not familiar with EQ2?

My first thought was to make a hardback book compilation using http://www.blurb.com/ because I've seen books they have printed and they look awesome, and they print both in Europe and the US. Those can be expensive though. Another option would be to print cheaper stapled comic book magazines (or a relatively cheap paperback compilation) using either http://www.comixpress.com/ or http://ka-blam.com/printing/front/. Hardback, paperback or magazine, any thoughts?

...I guess I'll go for all 3 options and let people buy whichever version they want.

Talking to myself again...should I be worried?

I don't think so?

Grok concur.

Price doesnt really worry me too much, unless it goes into 50$+ marked, but i can manage 15-30$ easy, but then im getting all the versions.

i'd definately go for all the versions

but i love hardcover books, strong long lasting, and sit nice on my shelf with my collections so i can love it for a long time
