Spacetrace Handbook

[Achilles]

Here is a little idea I have. Why not print the manual in softcover and sell it on the site? I got the idea from the many other video game magazines and hint books that are published.

As far as costs are concerned, I'm sure there are plenty of people that would pre-pay, and 10 to 20 dollars (American) would be reasonable, and sufficient to get a first printing run. (If only 100 people bought one book each, thats $1000-$2000)

It could include the entire manual, a hints/tips/strategy section, interesting impossible inventions, Hall of Fame, etc. It is much easier to read from a book than from your computer (to me, anyways). Plus, you could read while away from your computer. It would be an invaluable tool for newer players to learn from, and an excellent resource for others. Plus it would be fun to read.

Also, a suppliment could come out a couple of times a year, detailing changes and with new articles and such. Sure, it would not make millions, but I don't think it would lose money.

There are publications for just about every pasttime and hobby out there, and this game is no less valid than any other.
