The Wu Book of Riddles and Puzzles?

The RIDDLES SITE doesn't get updated anymore. I stumbled on The Big Book of Riddles, Puzzles and Enigmas. Is there a publishing house interested in publishing a similar book of well-known and newer riddles, which has foothold in Wu forums? Quite a few earthlings and aliens like riddles. Perhaps someone here has certain connections, like William? So he or somebody else could make a selection of riddles for the book, perhaps from various sources, with chapters like on Wu forums (Easy, Medium, Hard, What am I, etc.). Being a bit vain, I guess I would like some of my riddles to be proofread, polished and published. For about 200 copies, somebody would have to pay, I don’t know, minimum $500. So, who would contribute $30 or more? Are there poor riddlers on this forum? If so, a State might fund the book.

With a print-on-demand service you wouldn't have to deal with a minimum size printing run (though it's a bit more expensive per book).
I think it would probably be an ungodly task to collect and rewrite puzzles from this forum/site for a book, though. Just finding a specific puzzle you're looking for is hard enough, let alone finding the good ones you can't recall.

If Wu got involved in the book he could find all of the riddles that had the most traffic and answers (which might be a good indicator of how good they are).
