Woody, thanks for the idea for the book. I talked to Candice St. Jacques, the Editor-in-Chief of Kalmbach Books, who asked me to convey her appreciation for the suggestion as well. I asked Candice about how books are developed and she shared this with me:
"We have three ways of developing new books. One is to re-work material from our magazines when it makes sense to put those words and images in book form. Another is to contract with someone affiliated with the company to assemble all the elements for a book idea that meets a need we've identified. The third way happens in response to someone outside the company putting together a full proposal. We have a limited number of books we can publish each season and many more ideas than we can afford to bring to print, so we're always grateful when readers help us by telling us about the book ideas they want and need."
