Berlin Macht Buch - starts next week

Let's make Germany's first crowd-funded and crowd-sourced BOOK!


The "Berlin-Macht-Buch" book will be made of submissions of 100 friends of friends of friends. 100 pages by 100 Berliners.
...
To produce the book in high-quality we're raising 3.000 €. To take part in this we ask for 30 € and your submission: a doodle, a collage, a photo, an idea, a wish, a poem, a recipe...Anything you want to share with the world. As long as it fits on a page. We want the stuff to be as surprising and heterogeneous as possible.

Once the book is printed we will of course celebrate this: with the grand book-release-party in Berlin. This is why we want the participants to be locals. We want to meet all of you at the party. Everybody is to get his hot off the press copy on location. (We don't want to ship the books.)

The crowd-funding will start soon. Stay tuned. We will keep you posted on the details..

best wishes, Peter Sandhaus and Frank Trost

PS: We got this idea from friends who did the same thing in New York with kickstarter.com. It worked great there. Why shouldn't it here?
