From The Archivist In Me Turned This Blog Into a Book by Brain Baking:

This was a special experiment with a high probability of failure as I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. What should a Brain Baking book look like compared to browsing this website? How should it feel to flip through the pages? Will I be able to squeeze everything in there (nope)? Do I want to publish this publicly or just generate a .pdf, send it to the presses just for myself and call it a day? And if so, which service to use, as the past ones I’ve relied on all showed their shortcomings?

I’ve long thought about doing the same thing, as a way of preserving the words I’ve written here. In my case it would need to be a multi-volume set, and would take an awfully long time to assemble and edit.
