How Blogging Improved My Life
and My Community

Pre-Publishing Material 11/17/07

What is a B(l)ook?
A b(l)ook is a book based on a blog (which is short for weblog, a chronological web publishing format). A blook can be published in print and electronic formats.

Lulu Press awards a "Blooker Prize" each year to the best book from a blog.

Carbondale After Blog is based on the Carbondaley Dispatch blog, published from 2002 to the present. Only the first two pages of each chapter will be printed in the paper edition, including one photograph. Also included inside the paperbound cover, a compact disc containing the complete text of every chapter, plus hundreds of color images, audio and video files and web-based content. Software needed to read Carbondale After Blog (TK3 Reader) will be included on the CD.

The e-blook format increases the novelty, readability, and accessibility of information, while simultaneously reducing printing costs (and cover price) of the finished product.
