How about offering both a (cheaper) ebook version and a print-on-demand paper version? While it would be great to have such a book published by one of the current furry publishers, there is no lack of options for self-publishing and it would be much better than nothing. And while there may not be many people interested in a printed version, those who are interested (including me) would love it and would be willing to pay a premium for a book with such rare information. It's extremely difficult to learn about the early days of the fandom since so much used to happen in paper fanzines and conventions.
