Final Answer :
Both crowdfunding and crowdsourcing might be used for this purpose.Some labor might be available for copy layout or translation of layout into various print formats.Advice might be available for mobile and e-books.Crowdfunding is ideal because printing costs of the initial print are within the funding range that is good for crowdfunding.Specific sites exist for artistic endeavors.Urban farming might also be considered a social enterprise if the idea is also supporting "greener" solutions,so crowdfunding sites serving this purpose should be considered.
