Know More: Jim Munroe, Self Publishing, Web Journalism 2.0, Web Journalism

In honor of my week-long interview with publishing outlaw Jim Munroe, here's a do-it-yourself story that will generate piles of newpaper articles and evening news features.

Web-headed journalist Clive Thompson just posted about a stroke of literary genius, a mishmash of romance, nerdiness, publicity, and do-it-yourself-ness that all readers of The Publishing Spot will appreciate--proposing marriage with a self-published book.

Here's the quick and dirty summary:

"Cameron Kelly proposed to his girlfriend Angie Kreimer via a 113-page self-published book he created at Lulu.com -- 50 Reasons Why You Should Marry Me and 51 Reasons Why I Should Marry You. The book includes 101 pages of text and 44 color photographs."

Thanks to Steve Bryant for the tip...
