I think this is a great idea!

Formatting would be of the upmost importance for the 'book' to come together
as a whole.

I would suggest the criteria be at the very least photographs in three
resolutions, followed by ldraw instructions, then POV renderings.

These files would certainly accumulate to over most folks 5 meg limit on a
web page, so who would host it?

More importantly, who would put the thing together?

I would like to help, but I am not sure in what capacity.

My 2 cents...
