This little exchange reminds me once more that it is getting to be time for
someone to publish a new book (or series of books)(does anyone remember
books?) about cohousing. I imagine that it would include the best of
articles from the Journal, some edited discussions from this list,
bibliography of masters' and doctoral theses, interviews with people living
in various built communities; in short, an anthology of selected helpful
stuff about cohousing in the mid-to-late nineties (mostly) in North America. 

I am a small publisher and know how to put together such a book, even have
some ideas about how to get such a book published by a mid-size to major
publisher, but I can't take on the editing job any year soon. I would,
however be pleased to advise and consult with a writer/editor--perhaps
someone who is lurking or posting on this list--who thinks it would be
do-able and fun for them. I even believe that a number of people would be
willing to invest a few bucks to support the making of such a book, so that
the author/editor would not have to do it entirely as a labor of love.
Interested people should write me individually, and I'll get back to the
list if there is anything to report.
