Lloyd House's carpentry in Builders of the Pacific Coast

Lew just put together this Yudu mini-book, using a bunch of pages from Builders of the Pacific Coast, of Lloyd House's work. I love these tiny books. These pages look great miniaturized. Maybe we'll do the entire book this way. Micro electronic edition free. Would it help sell books?

It's an incredible, poignant collection and presentation; I've never teared up with a 'building book' before! And yes, I think some mini versions (even brief excerpts) would be mutually beneficial--portable/viral marketing + scaled down 'reference' copy. Maybe the ideal compromise would be if viewers are limited to a handful of pages or low-res version unless they already own the book.; November 5, 2010 at 5:51 PM
