Hey Robin - thanks for maintaining pttrns.com! It really is an invaluable resource.
I like the book idea the most. I'd pay a premium for tangible items that I could use as reference for years to come.
I would create somewhat of a flashcard set of screenshots and categorize them and package them in a fun case something like those Wildlife Treasury Cards of years past. You can do this pretty much yearly, but wouldn't really work well for iPad shots. This could also take the form factor of a pantone book.
This may not be a way to monetize, but I could also see a possible relationship with Offscreen Magazine . They cover the people behind the pixels, and you cover the pixels themselves. There's an opportunity to leverage their audience to offer something to offscreen subscribers or vice versa.
