Blog Your Own Hardcover Book (and Sell It ) at Blurb.com

Now you can create your own hardcover book by blogging to Blurb.com.  Instead of creating your book all at once, you can create it over time, slowly compiling your entries until you have a cool new book.  Ideas: coolbooks, portfolios, family albums, etc.
