<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">As of last Monday,
I work for "El Nacional", a rather large publishing company in Venezuela. I
currently hold the position of webmaster, so publishing books is for me an
inter-departmental activity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">I talked to
the "books" department (El Nacional is currently a compounded
newspaper, magazine, book, publishing house that is starting to expand its web presence)
about blender and the publishing possibilities for the subject and they were
really thrilled about it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">You can
visit our site at <a href="http://www.el-nacional.com/">http://www.el-nacional.com</a>
(I didn’t do this one, and personally don’t like it, I guess that’s what I was
hired to change) and look for the products section to see what El Nacional is
capable of producing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">To further
expand a little bit on what am expecting here are a few ideas of what has been
proposed in terms of formats so far:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">-Collectable
binder: to be released to kiosks weekly nationwide, containing 8 to 12 full
color pages per installment, called <span style=""> </span>“chapters”(purchased
separately from newspaper) with first issue being a binder (purchased separately)
and a CD (bundled) containing latest stable builds to date for win32 win64
macOSx targeted at entry level students. Every week an additional CD would
include files used in the examples and lessons along with an installment of
meshes or textures or procedural materials or any other props that would build
up a basic library of elements (it is assumed readers have no easy web access).
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">-Books:
targeted at all levels, starting at 120 pages of written content in standard
measurements (approximately 400 words per page) includes files for companion DVD
(authors exercise files, stable releases for all platforms, library, sample
movies in HD )</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

any further inquiries or want to contact me you can do so thru <a href="mailto:csantana@el-nacional.com">csantana@el-nacional.com</a> as well as
this mailing list.</span></p>
