The Data

The data is infact HTML, so it sounds hecka/hella hard to parse that, but I say have at it! And as far as editing, I agree, no editing, but perhaps layout editing, etc. Actually, as an art book, an 8.5 x 11 would be cool with the amount of text we have, we could mix text and images to make soemthing cool... BUT, the inside of these books are only B&W so nothing too cool I guess... bummer...

ALSO

I just did the first week using the 7.5 x 9.25 and tried to keep the layout the same as the way it reads on the webpage, and it took 13 pages! And those were some pretty crappy small-ass posts, this being the case, and every week being 13 pages we are looking at a our book costing roughly $30 bucks. I'm okay with this seeing as we are not going to sell these to anyone else, we don't need to keep costs down. So, how important is keeping the integrity of the webpage layout? if we say to hell with that, we can probably shave 1/3 of the cost off. These are SUPER rough numbers but are probably close.
