I know that, in the past, the Heralds' Symposium has published a book of
proceedings...in that case, it was a book of papers submitted by various
members of the group. However, those who taught classes were seriously
encouraged to put something in the book. It proved to be very
helpful...in fact, I still have (somewhere) the proceedings from several
symposia while I was active as a herald. I did one symposium...and had a
staff member who was responsible for putting the book together and
getting it printed. We distributed it at the event as part of the event
fee, and folks who couldn't attend were able to purchase it by mail
order (this was a LONG time ago!!) IIRC, it was made available, along
with other editions from other symposia, through the SCA Stock Clerks'
Office. Nowadays, you could peddle it from the MK Cooks' page.
