My next book of haiku Premitaj Floroj, should be ready in time for the Landa Kongreso in June. I've started collecting imagery from the UMass Herbarium and arranging haiku together with representative images. The book will be around 100 pages long, printed in black and white, probably around $6.
When I printed my last book, I was amazed to discover that you could print a full-color book for less than $10. It meant making no profit and distributing the book only through the most limited channels, but I wasn't expecting a large readership. Not that I expect to find a mass-market for this book either.
Still, I'm having fun. I've lined up someone to write an antaŭparolo for the book and I'm enjoying the technical wizardry of compositing the text and graphics. Great fun.
Update: I've changed the title from "presitaj" to "premitaj". Thanks to Vastalto for catching that.
