For a girl that hates history class, I sure do love FIRST History (hence my "why did you join FIRST" thread).

I'd pay for a copy!

Excellent Idea!

I know that publicly distributing a printed copy would be expensive, what about making it available as an ebook or via http://issuu.com/

It would be my wish that all teams make their histories available in a public place in addition to their team handbooks. Having sample ones available would allow teams to use them as a basis for their own. Just a thought.

Don't forget to send one down to your friends in California! I can't wait to read all of the stories.

Wow! Thanks everyone for all the information in the thread!

I'm having a meeting with team alumni and mentors involved in our revision cycle this Friday evening.

The options via lulu and issuu are really intriguing, and we're going to explore them as much as possible.

The thought of going those routes never even crossed our minds =).

I love CD!

I'm interested. Did you finish your second printing?
