I'm a huge fan of Post Secret and Found, and I wanted to capitalize on the trend they had started. So I came up with two ideas for coffee table books that I naively thought would make me rich. All I knew about the industry was what I learned from a Seinfeld episode. So I did some research about the pitching process and then I had to make sure my ideas had not been done already.
Well, they had. My delusional pipe-dreams have been dashed for the moment, but I thought I might as well share the work of those who beat me to it.
One idea was a coffee table book about awkward sex stories told, anonymously of course, by random people. So when I googled it I found this. Awkward Sex Stories.
The other was a compilation of the ridiculous stuff that people write on bathroom walls. This was going to be my magnum opus. It could have been done on such a low budget, I really believed I could make it happen, but somebody beat me to this one too. Here is the book version that I found: From the Stall
And here is the website dedicated to the same pursuit: The Writings On the Stall
