In October 2000 ANCOLD published a history of dam technology in Australia covering the 150 years in which large dams have been constructed in this country. The paper describes how this project began, the search for authors, the way the authors tackled their tasks, the peer reviews which resulted in additional chapters being written, and the archive searches for interesting photographs to illustrate the text. All this was accomplished by dam engineers including the editor. Then follows an account of the professional publication process: sub-editing, desktop publishing, proof-reading, the preparation of an index, the cover design and the printing process. Some conclusions are drawn from this first experience of book publishing.
