As nice as glossy printed books are, maybe it it time to transition to an e-book. That removes this issue. Low cost of production, high accessibility of information.
In order to help move the process along, maybe the author becomes more of an editor. Teams can submit, or be invited to submit, high resolution photos and a substantial written narrative.
The editors can pick which submissions will make the final copy, and re-write the narratives to align it with the production standards.
Maybe Vince could be convinced to be Editor-In-Chief, and he can direct a team of editors to manage the process ?
The e-book could have a standard template format for the whole production, and a template for a 1/2, 1 or 2 page team spread that focuses on a the teams effective design or strategy.
The teams could submit a design or be invited to submit a design. It doesn't necessarily need to be a winning design but an effective design with merit. In other words there needs to be some editorial rigor to the process and not just a collection of not too useful information.
I'm game.
2 cents.
