META: A Hypothetical Julian Coffee Table Book

So, just throwing out some ideas here, and I certainly don't want to say "the deal is done" or that I've even found a vanity press to put the thing out, but hypothetically: what would people think about a Julian coffee table book?
Would you guys be interested in sort of just my greatest posts all collected in a nice binding or would you want new material? Do you think just the posts by themselves or set to the context of perhaps photos of myself or some nature shots? (I'm leaning towards just the stark black on white serenity of my greatest missives, HYPOTHETICALLY.) Is coffee table style the wrong way to go and you'd prefer the entire 6500 post collection as a definitive resource? What price point would make this appealing to you personally?

I'm just spitballing ideas about how we can take our great content and merchandize it. I think all of our regulars should merchandize themselves. A James Ford growler. A Vansmack tshirt. An atomic bumper sticker that says "My Other Car Is A Rental." Azaghal aviator sunglasses. Seth-endorsed Magnum condoms. A kosmo 24"x36" poster. Why don't we have these things? We're just leaving brand recognition on the metaphoric table, people!

What if Vas Deferens, Hexenjagd, and Relaxer all moved into a house together as sort of an Odd Couple/Buddy Cop comedy hybrid scenario? We would check out a tumblr about that daily, right?

I feel as though I already weighed in on this in a previous incarnation of your thread…

I think you should start a Kickstarter page for this.

The Vas/azaghal/myself roadtrip to Hopscotch last year was pretty fun. With the right editing, it could have been an interesting documentary.
would you say there were legitimate hijinks?

did you? Have I had this idea before? What was your sage advice; I apologize for forgetting.

Not really any hijinks, but the trip was still interesting
