A Question for Stewart !

Any plans to do a book on your Lincoln collection. I would love to see a book, with many, many pictures. Would be more enjoyable than an auction catalog after you're gone.
Hard to ask questions after that point. Please excuse/ignore this post if this question is out of line.

Thanks Andy

    MickeyD - It would be very very expensive.If I did 100 color copies then it would cost about 100 dollars each per book.

    Excellent idea MickeyD

    Stewart, from what I have read here on the CU forum about your collection, you could most certainly find a publisher to pay a healthy signing bonus for the opportunity to photograph, catalogue , document, write a story about and distribute such a fine collection through a book deal. It may not make THE best seller's list, but I suspect it would be the THE BEST for Sellers and buyers and historians and and and, I think every top collection should have a book deal...or at least have ONE published book of short stories with the HIGHLIGHTS of each TOP or near top collection. It would be awesome, and an invaluable tool which would surely only help NUMISMATICS as an industry and Numismatists on a personal level.

    What say you ? I want mine hardbound and autographed !
    and don't forget Color Glossies image. Let me be the first to get one, too.... okay, after MickeyD image

    Do an e-book, like Gerry Fortin did with Seated Dimes.
