Others friends have used:
Mitsumi - super common, affordable, not necessarily high-end
Maxon - Swiss, highest of the high end, used on Mars robots, etc. $150+
Weird Drone Racing Motors - haven't heard of any of these guys but you can tell they're eaking out every ounce of performance
Tamiya, Kyoshi, Goki and other Japanese model companies make some great motors. Maybe not for mass production.
Global Sourcescan be a good source for vendors - I see "Sinopro" comes up a lot.
Last but not least, I liked this book: https://www.amazon.com/Motors-Makers-Steppers-Electrical-Machines/dp/0134032837

Yea, I LOVE the Bauhaus - that's what got me thinking about it. Just finished this book [1] on 20th Century architecture which covers a lot of stuff - nearly all it from the Germans. It's a fascinating time!
However, I want something more like this book [2] but for the German history. I can't wait to visit some of the awesome German engineering / science / tech museums.

A guide like this would be priceless. Is any of it written yet? I think that your biggest challenge will be packaging that knowledge into a package that is approachable and easy to follow.
Stanford put together a reference like you're proposing for medical device development that helped me a lot in my first medical device project (http://www.amazon.com/Biodesign-Process-Innovating-Medical-Technologies/dp/0521517427/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394453046&sr=8-1&keywords=biodesign). Unfortunately no one outside of academia has ever heard of it.
In terms of what I'd pay for something like this, I'll answer your question in the same way that I ask from your side of the table. Less than $10 would feel cheap. Greater than $40 would be too much. Probably a good value between $20 and $30. Given that people would need these various pieces of advice over many months, have you thought of a monthly access fee?
