Good point! I wouldn't class myself as a graphic artist by any means, but I think I can produce something a cut above the usual amateur effort.

It's a good idea, and I think you have your work cut out for you. I think you would need to publish a few other books first to show your track record to build confidence in people - otherwise it'd be too easy for them to just do it themselves and let the mistakes be.
Mmmm... I'm thinking of offering a straight 10% (no $300 upfront) to start off with, and see how it goes. Regardless of how nuts dadioflex thinks I am (*grin*) I'm not prepared to do work absolutely free.

At some stage, of course, I'll have to tackle the Kindle store. Can't really do one without the other, even with Smashwords eventually distributing to Amazon as well.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
