Book of Bard poems progressing

Tod Marshal, poet laureate for the state of Washington, updates us on plans for a book of poems by the late Tom Wobker, known here as The Bard of Sherman Avenue:

"We have students working on page design right now; am hoping to have that done in the next few weeks; we’ll proceed with book design (cover) and layout after that.  Will need a great picture of Tom for back jacket at that point. Am still hoping for early winter completion.  Will probably cost about $3-4 per book.  We can decide on press run and stuff when that gets closer.  Given what I see as a price of $10 per, the Bard’s books should raise a nice chunk of change for charity; I’m sure he’d like that."

Question: Would you like to have a book of poems by The Bard of Sherman Avenue?
