The concept of blogs becoming books involves some perverse ironies. Escaping the static and sluggish nature of books is precisely why so many of us started blogs. If the books based on blogs also become successful, perhaps we should have them chiseled into stone.
One exception is the forthcoming BLDGBLOG book, which is by no means a quick humor (what we used to call a "read on the toilet") book. I love Geoff's writing so much I want to savor it, and to see the images hard on the page. I'm really lookign forward to it.
But say Archinect became a book: why? I don't see the point.

Well said, AvL.

there is also earth architecture
book
which i think came out before the bldgblog book phenomenon
but both provide interesting precedents (no way i could keep up that intensity and maintain depth)
