IceInSpace Coffee Table Book

There's been a bit of discussion on the forums about producing an IceInSpace Coffee Table Book - a visual feast containing images from IceInSpace members and a little information about each of the photographers.

It would potentially make a great gift, or a great conversation starter to show guests when they visit.

The idea is still in the early stages, and Chris (Omaroo) is trying to get more of an indication of:

1. How many people might be interested in contributing an image to the book,
2. How many people might be interested in purchasing the book, and
3. How much you'd be prepared to pay.

We'd love you to read the following threads and vote in the poll to help us gather enough data to know whether the idea is worth pursuing. Remember: It's just an indication only - there is no commitment.

• Poll: Would you submit an image or buy the IIS Coffee Table Book?
