Michael,
It occurs to me that the possibility may come to pass that this book will be a very rare example of a book with a variety of W113's in a variety of locations, states of repair & refinement, etc.... decidedly not a book of pure conours edition or famous W113's, which is generally the typical coffee-table book on a given set of classics of some variety or another.
Is it possible, therefore that I can participate, then order (and pay for) 2 copies of it? If I can't order and pay for 2 copies, what happens to the plates (or reproduction proofs) used to print the book after it's printed? Also, is there a copyright for the book and if so, who owns the copyright? The publisher? You? I only ask because it's a relevant question.
If somebody were to want to reproduce the book and sell it, or extracts of photos from it, what would prevent them from doing so if there's no copyright? What prevents the publisher from making additional copies for other than the intended participants if he so decided? If there's a copyright, then who owns the copyright?
Oh, btw, though my wife will kill me every time she see's the book, count me in anyway... you only live once.

It is/was at first, totally misinterpreted by some who didn't read my entire post that this was to be some exclusive book of perfect Pagodas--trailer queeens.
COMPLETELY WRONG, and I'm glad Longtooth, that you have gotten it right. All cars, all conditions, all locations.
You can order as many books as you want. Remember there is no quantity discount--not my rules, the rules of the publisher. Your participation is welcome.
Copyrights of each photo remain with the photographers and will be noted as such. There are no "plates". It's a photobook and if you need a deeper explanation, please contact me offline. The design of the book, for what it may be worth, and things I create, will be my copyright. The publishers are photobook publishers and are not interested in printing books and selling them like a traditional publishing house; theft of the entire book in digital form by the photobook publisher would be an extremely remote idea; they all have standards, you know. You have to have an understanding of the photobook process to completely understand. It isn't traditional publishing.
Do it for
you, not your wife. Maybe she'll learn to see the beauty in these cars when she sees all of them together. Include her in a photo maybe she'll feel special!
You will need to update your profile or at least contact me offline with your email address as once we get underway communication will be directly by email blasts offline.
