I am pretty sure mid season last year they had an open application. I think that's how it worked.

Did they announce the teams featured in the book?

This is a GREAT present! Thank you FIRST, and Stephanie, and Vince, and teams who submitted! I've been waiting many months for the release of this book, and spent winter break reading the previous two to get ready for the new season, and the new book. Really looking forward to this tomorrow!

The editors create an outline of the book and create a call for contributions. There is dialog with the editors and at deadline text and images are provided by the teams. The book is then edited by the authors using the submitted materials. We brought our machine and parts to a photo studio and about 4 teams members wrote text. The authors of the book put significant effort in editing, compacting and rewriting the contributions. It was a great experience and a proud accomplishment to be included in the book.
