I say a paperback for now. Under $30 sounds reasonable, but your collection is really priceless.

Thanks for your poem about the Barred owl, it made me smile.

Thanks, Jack. Your thoughts about this matter to me. And thanks for your encouragement about the barred owl poem.

I vote for paperback, with personal notes and illustrations to add insights to the sonnets. Good for you, putting them together into a book! It's so rewarding to hold your work in your hands in physical form.

If you publish a book of your poems, I think that personal notes and illustrations could be very nice touches.

Thank you for sharing, Sara. I find the Barred Owl a fascinating bird. That "who-cooks-for-you" call is one of my favourites.

Regarding your questions:

1. I would be interested in purchasing a physical collection of your sonnets.

2. I think personal notes on the sonnets to give a brief background on each.

3. I would prefer paperback.

4. Price range perhaps under $20-$30 USD?
