Not a typical book, but a travel / photo book of US 66. I’m taking photos and drawing lots of maps to be included in the book. It will basically show the historical alignments of US 66 with lots of current photos.
This will take a couple of years. I’m going to travel segments of the route taking photos, gathering history and preparing maps.
I’m not overly creative or artistic, but looking to create something simple. Something on the lines of a coffee table book.
I’m thinking of doing the whole thing in black and white. I’m looking into publishing options now, but I’m thinking of using something like blurb and maybe sell through Amazon.
I really don’t care if I sell many books or make much money.
I’ve read Trombone Al’s threads on book publishing and picked up a few tips there.
Anyone have any feelings on how appealing a black and white only photo/ map book would be? Or know of any simple methods other than Blurb in preparing such a book?
