[QUOTE="Kugar, post: 1419501, member: 442"] As a reader of story hours here is my take: 1) Single author story hours - as much as I like PC, if I have already read the story hour I can't see paying more than the giong rate for a trade paperback or some similar format. (That being said, if it actually goes on sale the odds of me having a moment of weakness over the first week are pretty high) :) 2) Anthologies - I love short form. I like compelations, and the editior adds lots of value by picking the story hours and maybe even splitting story hours over volumes. I would pay more than the going rate for this. And you could do a series of books with a set number of pages per story hour. Like DoD Part 1 as 100 pages, then a whole buch of others at 50 pages each. The next book in the series could pick up where the last left off. 3) Special editions - As long as the cost does not get too out of hand and the production quality was high, I could see spending more money. At that point it would be a cool coffetable book and needs to display well. Just the opinions floating through my consumer side processor. I really like the idea and wish you guys well.
