Order your personalized coffee table book about our President & his campaign

From Apple's Pro Profiles series:

“But with this book there are no copies in stores, no bookshelves, no review copies. Each copy is created as you order it, so it doesn’t exist until you bought it. Economically, environmentally, it’s just so much better.”
They picked 200 photos for the book:
“But with Aperture, it was incredibly easy to sort, rate, and export 40 thousand images."
At the book's website, The Obama Time Capsule:
STEP 1 Purchase THE OBAMA TIME CAPSULE on Amazon. One order per personalization. Within 3 hours of authorization an email will be sent to you so that you can begin personalizing your book.
Instructions for how to make the book personalized.



Why the author worked on the project:
“I don’t know the future of coffee table books,” he says. “Maybe they’re dinosaurs. But rather than killing them, technologies like just-in-time publishing might represent a coming of age for these books, and for books in general. I love the web — I live online all day — but there’s no ‘there’ there. So what I really like is that I can leave this book for my great grandchildren to pick up someday and see what my wife, my kids, and I were doing when President Obama was elected.”
Cool!
