What should i name my book?

[chesscuber98]

3 is most suitable though

Figure out what your book has that none other does (other than a collection of previously unpublished models). You should title it to reflect that contribution.

i think #3 might be the one! i really like the name!

[Harpseal]

Please mention me in the front or something!! (You don't have to, just it'd be really cool! )

[GWB origami]

i could put you in the copyright page!

[Harpseal]

Don't copyright anything, just put somewhere in the front 'thanks Harpseal for improving the title' in small text where no one'll read it.

[GWB origami]

yes, that seems always to be the way things work. for instance i got my name in the OrigamiUSA convention book 2012, but it ACCIDENTALLY got a white line through it.

[Harpseal]

Ah. Who's name didn't 'accidentaly' get a white line through it?

[LeafPiece]

Books of any genre commonly have an acknowledgements page for this purpose.

That's what i was thinking, just it is a bit obvious, and if i improved the title, that doesn't really match the person who inspired all of GWBorigami's models and saying how brilliant they looked when he finished.
Of course, i don't see why we're discussing this at all, it's GWBorigami's book, and he only asked for help with the title.

well now that the title's been finished why don't we get on with some other stuff about it! it would be so helpful to have some recommendations for contents and other stuff. i have a prototype for the cover
here it is!

i've got a few suggestions.
1. instead of a physical book, which can be a pain to get published, what about a .pdf book that you can charge something like $3 for? just to see how many people would be interested in buying it. if its popular and would be worth getting published, then go ahead. you would want to be making money, not losing it. origami-shop.com can probably work with marketing a pdf book.

2. i know a lot about photoshop, and .i can design a cover for you. using preset fonts and only 2 colours isn't a great choice. you want to draw attention to the book, first impression is a lasting one. if you want i can send you a sample.

3. post a sample of your diagrams so we can see what we're buying, and get a proofreader. i'm sure lots of people on the forum are willing to help with that.

4. have an introduction, acgnoledgements pages.

good luck
