I can't say much at this point, but it looks like TOP is going into the book publishing business. How 'bout that? More in a few weeks.

Hooray!

Mike,
Put me down for a copy of your first book, from the first print run.
I'm serious.
Posted by: RobG | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 12:58 AM
If you need any ISBN's I may still have a few.
Posted by: Chad Thompson | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 01:03 AM
maybe it will be run like Steidl... including the fact that he has not published any of the manuscripts submitted to him — at least at the time of an interview last year.

Mark Surloff :-)??

In this life, hopefully? You got me a little frightened, I must say...

Great! Photography and Publishing - the best combination ever!
Posted by: Boglev | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 06:11 AM
Woohoo, I am buying! What will it be about?
Posted by: Carsten W | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 06:42 AM
Excellent news, and I have to say a great fit for the site. Looking forward to hearing the plans. Was this in the works before the recent post bemoaning the lack of book from Mark Surloff?
Posted by: Harrison Cronbi | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 07:15 AM
bravo, bravo, congratulations, crossed fingers for great success
Posted by: Bojan Volcansek | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 07:26 AM
Hope, it will be distributed by Amazon.co.uk
All the best for your actual and new ventures!!!!
Posted by: Jose Rola | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 07:28 AM
LOL talk about an anachronism, as the print world dies! Doors close and new opportunities spring forth. You will fill a growing void. Good luck from a future customer.

Good luck with the new venture. Please don't publish books of appropriated photos like that of Doug Rickard.

Terrific news ! Hope you got my mail.

Great news! I can't wait for a follow up. Can you give us a little hint?

T.O.P's evil plan for world domination appears to be running on time...
Posted by: Roger | Monday, 15 October 2012 at 07:45 PM
Well, a brave move but it makes a certain sense as your site can has a provable influence on book sales. Making the transition to printing and actually selling books can be difficult for a website. At least you have prior experience of the world of print. Whatever the project is I'm sure interesting thinngs will come from it and I really hope that it goes well!
