<div>Actually I just had an interesting thought. Have you ever thought of<br>announcing that you are accepting sponsorship for a book, before you<br>write it or at least before publishing? Sweeten it with some status;<br>
you could promise to include the names of all the sponsors in a list<br>in the front or back of the book (maybe ranked by the level of<br>sponsorship). I reckon there'd be more than a few scheckles to be had<br>that way, and it wouldn't preclude also selling the book itself as<br>
usual, excepting that sales might not need to be as good, especially<br>if the publisher gets some of the sponsorship money. Accepting money<br>up front like that would be scary for amateurs, but you don't seem to<br>
have trouble producing the goods.</div>

<div>This reminds me of when B-movie king Charles Band gave everyone who spent $100 or more on his roadshow merchandise a credit on his next film as an "executive producer." I had to fast forward that section for about ten seconds to get past it! lol He had a lot of takers... </div>
