I do want to include some of this in the first one. Maybe the beauty
shots of the model could be taken on club layouts and there could be a
little blurb about the club on the page. Something like "some-LTC was
formed in 1999 and has done x number of shows. blah blah blah" with
their web address and contact info. This could also be used to show
that there is a large number of LTC's out there. Clubs, let me know
what you think of this idea.
The CD is a good idea.
If it is successful, I would like to put an idea book out every two
years.

I'm hoping to get this for under $12 a piece. Price is a long way off
though.

I would love any of your designs in the idea book. Do you have any
ldrawed?
