I would also like it to be a showcase of the clubs. Remember how the
LEGO idea books had photo's of the idea book creations on a 'real'
layout? as in this one?

This is how I would like to have a lot of the book set up.

Interesting. I was envisioning a bound 9x12" book with glossy
cardstock cover, stapled on the fold. Probably only 64 pages, so it
would be similar to a LEGO idea book.

Agreed. How many times do you hear a show visitor say "these are your
own designs? I could never build that!" You could then refer them to
the idea book... instant fundraising. Another option instead of a
vendor table would be to partner up with a friendly hobbyshop exhibiting
at the show.
