Default New Feature - Author Your own Book !

You may have noticed a new feature on the menu. Now anyone can start their own book and have other members contribute to it.

This feature has been implemented to create an entirely member authored book, entitled Practical guide to growing orchids - by Orchid Board members

I believe this would be a first in the Orchid World. Book written by many hobbyists for many hobbyists.

It would be nice to come up with a "Table of Contents" and have members write the individual pages/chapters.

Let me know what you think.

Marty

btw, if you want to undertake writing your own book, go right ahead. That's what this feature if for.

On the other hand, if you have a single, unrelated story to share, please use the "member articles" feature.

I don't see the option. WHich one is it?
Great idea by the way!!! We don't need publishers, we got Orchid Board to distribute it,

For now I took it down, this would be a very large task, I think before we make our own "book" we will need to have 3000-4000 users. We will put it on a back burner for now.
