Well, I might as well help to spread the word. If you’ve not signed up, go ahead and commit yourself to SoFoBoMo (Solo Photo Book Month) 2009. Click here and sign up!
I’m still not sure what my topic will be, but I have at least until May 1st to decide. The only thing that I’ve kind of decided on is that it will probably be in black and white. I’m starting to ‘feel’ black and white again. There are some things that I do know:
- I will, again, use Scribus as my book layout software of choice. It worked pretty well for me last year.
- I will, again, use Pete Masterson’s excellent book: Book Design and Production
I will certainly need to review Pete’s book again as I’m sure that I’ve forgotten all that I learned about book layout and font choice. I may have to do a few practice books before I do my ‘real’ book. I need the practice! I may even print this one this year, but I can only decide that when I get there. No commitments, except to do the book. 
I so thoroughly enjoyed the process last year and it was a huge accomplishment to see the book! It felt very good, on a personal level.
There are already at least 25 or 30 participants so far and the site just went live yesterday, I believe!!! Give it shot. You’ll be glad that you did!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You did a great job with it last year so I am sure this year will be even better. Good luck.
The timing is bad for me (we have a MAJOR event end of May till beginning of June) – but what the heck. I’m in!
I am consumed with curiosity about your project. You have mentioned some quite intriguing possibilities along the way, and I look forward to seeing what you decide on. I will interesting to watch you top your 2008 project
I have signed up again to participate in the madness. No ideas yet, only a firm determination to see it through.
@Anita: I haven’t a clue. My life is so topsy-turvey right now that, if I can make until May without going insane, that will be a huge, huge, huge accomplishment. After the clouds clear, we’ll see what’s left. What I’ll do. Even in the midst of all of this turmoil, I’m still looking forward to doing the book.
