I think the time is ripe for this to happen, and for some significant publications to start coming out of the Wikibooks project. I'm even willing to put some of my own money into this endeavor, but I would also like to see if there is any additional interest in those sympathetic to Wikibooks who would like to join me in this effort.
I think you should go for it! This is the whole point of the GFDL! Yay!
I would be willing to do some amount of layout and design work if that's necessary and desired.

I agree whole-heartedly. I don't have alot of money to my name right now (i'm a poor student), but i would be willing to donate some money and time to this project if needed. I say we formalize a set of rules for picking a "Publication of the Month/Quarter" (we can copy from BOTM or COTM, if needed), and use that project as a way to get the entire community into the act.
