[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 409108, member: 12718"]Guy - My view is that before undertaking such a task, a little bit of planning would need to be done to test the idea. I think it would be critical to first define the target audience. Is this a book like the "coin collecting for dummies" or is the target a more experienced collector? What alternatives does the reader have to get this same info and why would they buy this book among alternative sources? Will it be a generic topic driven approach or a story/picture based approach or some other way of unfolding the topic? What will give this book an edge compared to others? I'm certainly not a publisher or book writer, but it would be wise for such a venture to be outlined with an specific angle about how this book would be received. After answering some of these questions, one might decide it isn't worth the trouble. Perhaps spock could just offer mind meld sessions and charge a small fee. This might be the most efficient way to share our collective consciousness! [IMG]http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/VulcanMindMeld.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
