I just got word that Whitman is OK with a section specifically devoted to color coins! It will have to be no more than 8 pages, but that will allow me to have 20 - 40 coins. Some with obverse only, others obverse/reverse.

Yes - the entire book will be in color. But the usual Whitman format is one picture for each date. We will have a chapter devoted to color coins, as some dates deserve more than one picture!

(The text is easy to do: with only 26 letters and 10 digits, the print crew is organized into 36 teams. Each team quickly prints only its letter or digit into each book, then passes it on to the next team. At the end of the line, the completed book emerges ready to be colored.)

I love it!
I must say that I, for one, regret that such a high percentage of the numismatic book publishing business is being captured by Whitman. The quality of their work leaves a great deal to be desired.

Don't forget the "score line" team, too.

I've found that not many Publishers want Numismatic related books. I'm self publishing with Lulu. It takes a ton of work doing it on your own but I think the end result will be worth it.
