  I am toying with the idea of publishing selected poems from DPS (S), like for example
  
  'DEAD POETS SOCIETY (SINGAPORE): SELECTED POEMS VOLUME 1'
  
  That will be great!
  
  But how much to publish a book like that ah? Can anyone tell me?

  i think it's not so much the cost of publishing a book... rather.. it's finding a publisher or someone willing to promote and market the book....

  Hahaha I am not that ambitious.
  
  Maybe just print 10-12 copies and give them as gifts to friends.

  I was thinking of publishing my own collection of poems which I've written over the years too.
