<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1919968, member: 15199&quot;]Coin books are not best sellers. Even the Red book&nbsp; only ranks #1,900 th on Amazon&#039;s list, and a book on a rather unpopular area ( which I believe Barber coinage would be) such as&nbsp; Civil War tokens by an extremely well respect author Q.D. Bowers only ranks as 529,000 th, and they are backed by a powerhouse Whitmans.I intend no disrespect to Barber or CWT fans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both BNB and Doug&#039;s post contain an important common fact , people do not want just rehash,&nbsp; They want originality, new and sharp photo, historical research, correct scientific proof to buy a book rather than just read it off of forums or wiki. I don&#039;t mind $100+ for a book that gives me information NO other source has, because knowledge is power and will repay the output by many times in collecting, buying , or selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Writing is a hard and time consuming task similar to athletic training. Strict time regimentation, excess money for travel and research, a GOOD agent who can help one complete their goals and GOOD editors , who can prevent the book from being a reading nightmare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any such ambition should be applauded, but I would write no more than a proposal and maybe a first chapter to use to find a willing agent. Without one it will go no where. IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
