<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 998812, member: 26302&quot;]Good thoughts Ras. I would hope someday ERIC II could be updated as well, even if I have not seen it yet. My earlier comments were regarding how you immediately said ERIC should be bigger and will start working on a new one when you were still in a position to sell ERIC. I would not do that. I would sell out ERIC II, and then consider what to do next, either a supplement to ERIC II, (works very well for SNG&#039;s and RPC&#039;s, just create a new book to supplement what you would have liked to get into ERIC), or pursue Greek coins, or something completely new. The problem is that when you create a new version of a book like this, you create new numbers, thereby making outdated earlier reference numbers. Its not that the new edition would be more complete, its that the older edition will completely be obsolete and useless, since its very reason for being, an attribution aid, is superceded. If ERIC II is as massve as I hear it is, I think any changes on your part would be well suited by a supplement, and the supplement would serve to add value to ERIC II as well. With publication of the supplement I would not be surprised if you would have to order a second printing or ERIC II as well. Look at what happened with RPC Vol I.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding free electronic access to ERIC II, of course, would be a boon to the hobby. How about, though, inserting a note into ERIC II giving the link to your website where it might be listed and giving owners of ERIC II access earlier? Or at least put them on a mailing list, or giving them an address to be put on a mailing list, to get notified when it is placed online? </p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said earlier, I think if you keep ERIC II the way it is, and publish supplements, then everyone would be happy. Maybe 10 years from now you could publish them all together or something, but to spur sales now I believe the buyers have to believe the number system will be something they can count on for quite a while, not something they are worried they need to change in another 5 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: What I was saying about &quot;for buyers of ERIC II&quot; I meant generically, not saying it because I happen to be a preorder customer of it, which I am for full disclosure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
