<p class="MsoNormal">Don, I would volunteer for this if it happened. That would be an incredible project and such a wonderful tribute to all of the ideas presented in Electronotes over the decades. I also wonder if Mr. Hutchins would give his blessing on an
independent project like this that does not even involve him (obviously he should be compensated monetarily).<o:p></o:p></p>

> Your new “Marketplace” is interesting. But what is the policy with regard to publications? Books, manuals, newsletters etc. The reason I ask is because, as the publisher of Electronotes, despite our notice of no longer shipping any orders, every week
we receive questions as to whether there is some other way to buy copies.<br>
<br>
<br>
If only there was some economic system that incentivized the fulfillment of market demand...<br>

(I've said it before, but...) Sheeshe Bernie, y'r sitting on a frickin gold mine!
<br>
<br>
Here's what you do:<br>
<br>
* Recruit a couple of people from this list with publishing experience to be your assistants.<br>
<br>
* Pick a topic, say Oscillators, and compile the best of Electronotes on that topic.
<br>
<br>
* Work with your assistants to clean it up, re-layout, redo the graphs and schematics to publication quality standards, add updates and notes.
<br>
<br>
* Publish it as a book with one of those self-publishing companies, like Lulu.
<br>
<br>
* A percentage of the revenue goes to your assistants. Buy a new car with the rest.
<br>
<br>
* Then work on the next book on the next topic.<br>
