This looks like a great idea.  But I have a few questions regarding this.

Do you plan to make a profit from this?  It seems like this will take a lot
of money and time to complete.

Is it neccesary to do a live interview?  I mean, some of us might be in
obscure areas or have a tied up scedule when you tour the area.  Could we
parhaps take pictures ourselves and do the talking via the internet?  Some
of us could take better photos of our MOCs, and Photoshop them properly to
make them really high quality.

What are the criteria for the models and people shown?  It would be cool if
you could showcase as many people as possible, instead of just the Really
Good Builders(tm) that we already know all about, even if most people just
get one or two pictures.  Though, in retrospect, since this is geared
towards the public, and not to AFOLs, showcasing the most 'wowing' creations
might create the best impression.

100 people might seem a lot, but I wonder if this is too many or too little.
What about us who can't travel, are not as famous, or can't attend Fests?

What are your estimates of the book?  What's the intended price, length,
fanfare, etc.

Very cool project!!

Who, being a young teen and not one of the master builders, (though I am a
lot better then I was a short time ago)does not want to waste energy hoping
to be in the book.  Are considering making different editions in the future?

I'm constantly amazed by all the great things people build with LEGO. Our eclectic hobby is a rich and expressive nexus of art, science, and humanity. I've often wished there were a simple way to share this amazement with people outside the hobby. (...)
