Any authors here interested in writing a numismatic biography?

I have a dealer in mind, and his story could make for a great book. (Think tragicomedy, with lots of great stories.) Please PM me if you're interested.

Actually, once you written one, you usually have figured out most of the steps/sequences, photos, scanning, what software (Indesign, Word...), formatting photos with text, different printer options, optimization of graphical images, paper used, covers, distribution, and all of the other fun necessary steps the actual writing a book requires.
Once you have written one and you understand the process, the second, third, or however number of books you write is primarly focussed on the research, content, and those elements which are enjoyable in learning something new and helping to teach others. It can be adicting.
On the other side of the coin, after 42 books to date, looking back, if I had to do it again, I might not, considering how much time and effort it takes to research and write a book, and if I could have done other activities that actually made money.......

That wasn't my idea, but it's a good one! Actually, Alan is colorful enough that a movie would be even better.
