You got it exactly right... That's the service that I am working with
right now... I have the volumes of INAV that I published through Lulu
for personal use as a prototype, and the quality is outstanding, as
well as the price, taking all things into consideration...

I'm going to bring my copies to Kent to see what everyone thinks of
the idea, and Tony and I will probably be putting some more work into
the project over the summer... Two volumes for 2000-2005 (around 750
pages for both...) will probably be the first that we will put out...

One of the other goals is to have all of the content on the website,
with an index that can be added to by anyone, and then anyone can
print a master index... the programming for the prototype is done,
just have to find the time to get everything together now... I guess
depending on the level of interest, I could be prodded to pick at it
more, although flying season is almost upon us... :)
