.....are there any here.
We are looking into a particular project with the end result being such an item above, and I have absolutely no idea where to start to get the ball rolling, so thought I'd try here first.
Please email me via my profile, and we can talk confidentially.

If you are looking to get a book published then the publisher to which you end up selling the book to will sort all production issues out.

If you are looking to produce a book yourself, then any decent colour printer will be able to sort you out.

Mail me if you need more info.

My fiancee works for a publishers - they do all sorts so I'm sure could help.

However, as stated above, you may want to explore other avenues first.

My fiancee comes back from abroad at the weekend, so she can tell me who to put you onto when she get's back if you wish?

Cheers,

Iain

If you are looking to publish rather than produce, here's the method:

1) Write just the first chapter and a précis of the rest of the book covering no more than 2 A4 pages.

2) Write a brief CV of the author and why they/you are suitable to write the book.

3) Visit a bookshop/library and look for books covering a similar subject, taking note of the publishers.

4) Send items 1 and 2 to those publishers.

-or-

Get yourself a literary agent. Contact details can be found in the Artists and Writer's Year Book.

Oh, and yes, it's a car-related topic.
