Hi...
Does anyone know of a trustworthy publisher?
I know it might be a daft question...lol.

I'm looking for one that specialises in aircraft and after nudges from Merlin, Holdfast and Logansdad I fancy giving my Luft 46 profiles a go.

Thanks
Cheers
Peter

Peter,
I understand that CafePress, the same outfit that does the Armorama t-shirts, does "vanity" publishing. IIRC you have to send a PDF.
I haven't checked this out myself.

CafePress does not do full color bound books though. Only text b/w and color covers.

If you had a lot of actual TEXT to go with the whole package I would probably say that Osprey might be interested from a modeling angle. Obviously it doesn't fit with their historical books but they would likely see the interest for aircraft modelers who enjoy the "What if" builds.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Jim
