Some have asked about what the book will be like (in comparison to the web).
As I see it, the blogs are almost an un-edited preview, wherein the book will be a coherent body, including more stuff such as letters, emails, images and Facebook exchanges… I see it being a kind of ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ wherein you can dip in and out of the stories and get a little ‘lift’!
