Thank you for your kind words!
Yes, we have been looking at how to publish the book - it's going to be a big one, as I'm up to just under 95,000 words and expect to hit the first 100,000 shortly. What we've done is divide the work into five 'volumes', as Chirine's career happens to fall into five specific phases; each volume will follow his (and his family of eccentrics!) during each phase. I'm also reworking the Table of Contents to make it easier for people to use the book as a reference for their own adventures - I am most assuredly ***not*** expecting people to sit down and try to read the thing all in one go!
There will be an on-line version for sure, and we're looking at the economics of doing a relatively small print run of hard-copy books. Several people, who have all read the draft version, have offered advice and help, and we're working on the nuts and bolts of how to get this done. Once we get some firm numbers, we'll proceed from there.
And yes, I expect that there will be little or no money in this; I'm not doing this for the money. I'm doing this for a bunch of people who I had a lot of fun with, and are no longer in the position to be able to tell their stories of what gaming was like back in those early days; some are well-known in gaming history, some are not. Names like Fred Funk, Dave Arneson, Rick Bjugen, Gary Gygax, and Prof. M. A. R. Barker.

I'll keep you all posted, and I'll certainly yell for help when I need it! Thanks again!
