<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8535404, member: 24754"]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted about this project back when I was getting started, so I won't reiterate all of the background information. Here is a link to the old thread:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/guide-book-for-my-coin-collection.389861/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/guide-book-for-my-coin-collection.389861/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/guide-book-for-my-coin-collection.389861/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I managed to complete a draft of the book, here is a link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14bQB3B91xQ8dxoCAqN41FopgtFMx5RYe/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14bQB3B91xQ8dxoCAqN41FopgtFMx5RYe/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/file/d/14bQB3B91xQ8dxoCAqN41FopgtFMx5RYe/view?usp=sharing</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I had to upload it in pdf because Google Docs screws up the formatting in the .docx document.
