Hello everyone who answered and who didn't the poll (vonborowsky.deviantart.com/jou… I made somedays ago about me writting an book, or possibly, an ebook about how to make "toy jointed" dolls out of cold porcelain.
As so many people like the idea, I thought probably some are misunderstanding what it means.
So, what are "toy jointed" dolls?
Here are examples of it:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8816578/

And this two, which are more recent, but with the head made out of a solid piece and not two:

Why I thought on making a book of it? Because I really enjoy making ball jointed dolls, and these are not the same thing and I do not appreciate making them as much as ball jointed dolls. How my time to work on doll making is not much, I would rather prefer spend just on BJDs and spread this technique, which was developed by me, for those who will have time and effor to make dolls even better.
And why a book and not a tutorial?
I've seen through the years people making tutorial and many following it, copying styles, selling artworks without even mentioning they learned through someone's tutorial. They don't even thank those who made the tutorial...
I think it is very sad and lack of consideration with the original artists.
Making a book makes people who really want to make that to buy the book and is it at leats a way to thank the artist, and of course, you can make a book many timer better than a tutorial and with many more pictures and information.
I am not sure about what I will really write on this book, it is a bright new idea. I will explain how the mechanism of this dollw works, what do will need to pay atention when making it. Maybe I will even include some tips on how to handle with cold porcelain, because it is the material I will be using on the book, but, of course, everyone can improve this techniques using the materials they prefer ("how to's" highly depends on the material the stuff is being made).
And, it will probably be an ebook because I think it will not be thaaat big to be nice in a printed version. And, of course, printed versions would be more expensive and will be shipping costs and such that I am not sure if will worth for everyone to have it. I don't know nothing about prices for this things.
And if it is going to be true, maybe a contest to choose some designs for the dolls I will be making on the book? =)

I think that this is an awesome idea! These dolls are so cute. It is something I would definitely look into getting. Even an actual copy of the book if you ever print it.
