<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to put together a book of interesting alumni interviews, in the vein of Esquire’s collection of “What I’ve Learned” columns,
<i>The Meaning of Life</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would anyone have connections or advice about writers/publishers who would be good contacts on putting this together, as well as a ballpark idea of how much it might cost to put this together? We would probably have an initial printing
of 500.<o:p></o:p></p>
