Rangefinder Forum book

[JoeFriday]

it's been a while since this came up, and we've had so many new members join that I figured it was time to mention it again

the unofficial RFF book can be ordered HERE

full of images taken by 25 members of our own little community.. it's a marvelous book that can inspire us all

and while we're on the subject, I'm wondering if anyone else has used the Lulu print on demand service

It *is* a very cool book, and I have one. Everyone should get one, so there. And I don't have any photos of mine it, so I have no ego involved in this one.

I have not done anything with Lulu, but it is on my to-do list. I have been doing some extensive research on printing-on-demand and products-on-demand as I go about setting up my photo/writing business (I will make money by ticking everybody off, I'm really good at it), and I cannot find a better print-on-demand service than Lulu thus far. Whomever came up with that idea here at RFF was really on the ball.

I was browsing through the websites of various advertisers in Rangefinder Magazine the other day, trying to see what was out there for online printing/framing/etc. Nothing really that great, but one company in particular wanted me to join their website as a member before I could 'see' anything. Then they wanted to email me a password. That took two days. Then when I got logged in, they wanted me to fax them my D&B number and my financials. Oops. Old tech, dudes. You're gonna get waxed by the new breed. I declined to do so and they called me. Why wasn't I interested in seeing what they had on offer? Because you don't know what year it is, I replied.

Anyway, I'm fascinated by the Lulu model - hope it works out in the end, but I think they're onto something.

Best Regards,

I also bought the book and was impressed with the work and quality of the publication. I'd like to be in on the next issue.

Yeah, but Roger already gets paid for it. I'm running late.

I'm one of the lucky 25. I bought 5 copies to give away to my parents, both my grandmothers and my brother-in-law (and kept 1 copy for myself). It is indeed a nice book. People have commented on it in superlative wordings. 🙂

So far, I haven't but I'm working on it. I know there are a few RFF members that have. On -my blog- I mentioned them. IIRC, the 28mm was one, though I could be mistaken. "Woofers" is another one. And there's at least one or two more.
