Vahur Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I know that extremecarving technique has of little interest here among members. But for those few who have interest in body dragging following 2 links might be useful: http://carving.grewu.org/gallery/ECS_Book/index.htm http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/407113 P.S. Hopefully such shameless self-promoting spam is not against forum rulz here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donek Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Interesting idea. Any sales on that book. I printed a calendar this year. We'll see how sales go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I do love extremecarving, in fact I've watch the videos from extremecarving many many times and still watch them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahur Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 2 replies/objections to my claim for uninterest of extreme carving and both from Canada :) . Hmm, is it indication of something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahur Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Interesting idea. Any sales on that book. I printed a calendar this year. We'll see how sales go with it. Don't know about sales yet, as I've published this project on Tuesday this week and blurb provides sales information when book is printed and they actually charge for services. This takes time: in my case it took 8 days from placing order to notice that book is printed and shipped (and another 10 days for standard shipping). But if you were interested about my income from publishing this book then profit will be $0.00 regardless from number of orders: as I wrote in my homepage the book's price is Blurb's base price (for printing, shipping and taxes), which means that I don't get any income from it. Why? Because photography and snowboarding are my hobbies and hobbies are not supposed to produce incomes, only expenses ;) Another reason is that I want to provide this book as contribution to hardbooting community in order "to promote art and science of snowboard carving" Without those people who pay ridiculous prices for beer in Alps such images were not possible :) But I'm sure that you have quite solid portfolio of carving images (and reputation in relevant circles) so I believe that if you decide to publish book of carving photographs then you have lot of orders...

Vahur Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Interesting idea. Any sales on that book. I printed a calendar this year. We'll see how sales go with it. Right now it seems that to count all the orders I don't have to remove my socks, fingers are enough :D So it seems like I lost very little by releasing book with zero profit...

Vahur Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Some really good shots in there. Any more sales. Looks like you did a nice job of it. Seems like there is no more sales than initial (7 books). But despite of this (or maybe because I don't want to admit that my photo book sucks :D ) I'll probably make another book this spring. Or maybe two books. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
