Would You Buy a Backup Blook?

I’ve thought for some time now that I should collect my backup reminders and republish them in another form. This blog was actually the first step in doing that. Now, spurred on by Lulu’s 2006 Blooker Prize contest, I’ve decided to turn the FileSlinger™ Backup Blog’s first 3 years into a book—or rather, a “blook,” which is a book made out of a blog (or vice versa).

Print on Demand technology makes it easy to create a few copies to submit for the prize (which I don’t really expect to win, but which creates a deadline that will force me to finish) and a few more to use as part of my writing portfolio. (Just in case any of you were still wondering, fixing computers is not my real job.)

As a businessperson, I don’t want to miss any opportunities, and the blook will give me, a service professional, an actual, tangible product. My question to my readers is: would you buy it? Or perhaps I should ask “Why would you buy it?” or “What would a collection of columns on backups need to do to be worth buying, either for yourself or for someone else?” After all, there are already books about making backups, and you can read the blog for free—at least as long as your computer and internet connection are working.
