Should we, and if so, how can we draft/compel Cladking to write a book on Clads?

What say you all?

RYK · January 16, 2006 6:37AM

I would buy two copies: one for me and one for a giveaway on the forum. Count me in as a supporter.

How can he find the time ........with all those coins to look thru...............

There are at least another thirty billion quarters to go but at least since 1998 I'm not falling any further behind.

...Or am I?

I would also buy two copies of this book. This is the future of collecting coins that are fun to assemble. My first book was purchased in 1971, a soft cover volume of the Van Allen/ Malis morgan silver dollar varieties. This started me on the way to study coins and pay close attention to die marriages.

I think the title of the book should be "The Collector's Guide to Modern Crap."

fc · January 16, 2006 7:48AM

i also like that title.

writing a book takes inspiration to produce something original, imho.
cladking will decide when the time is right, or maybe never.
to try to convince him to write a book seems impolite due to the
amount of work involved and the expectations you are setting him
up for.

my two pennies. (j/k cents)

p8nt · January 16, 2006 7:48AM

I'd buy one or more.

coinnut86 · January 16, 2006 8:19AM

I'd buy one, but then Russ needs to write one on Kennedy's

CodyB · January 16, 2006 8:51AM

I'd buy a copy, trying to learn as much as I can about coins, some of the stuff you guys say on here still makes me go

robertpr · January 16, 2006 10:17AM

<< <i>I'd buy one, but then Russ needs to write one on Kennedy's >>

So Cladking's book would be "The Collectors Guide to Modern Crap"

and Russ's book would be "The Collectors Guide to Fugly Modern Crap", a slightly more specialized title.

Maybe we can convince someone to write a book on modern Lincolns so we can complete the trilogy with "The Collectors Guide to Worthless Crap"

Yes, and CCU ( book not clads!) as well. K

Edit for the clads part.

It's not a question of how many board members would buy it. It's an area that is badly in need of a current reference. It would sell plenty of copies. And once you write the standard reference, you get to put out new editions every once in a while. Set for life!

Now CK, I know your motives would be altruistic, but look at what Cardinal's book did for his collection! Not a bad side benefit.

Just for the record, I'd certainly buy one. Help us, Obi-Wan Cladking, you're our only hope!

SanctionII · January 17, 2006 3:01AM

Obi-wan Cladking.................., now that is a hoot.

Coindexter · January 17, 2006 3:13AM

He could simply publish a collection of his posts here and make a good book out of it.

coinkat · January 17, 2006 10:59AM

He has the knowledge and now is as good as time as any...Whitman are you out there?

coppercoins · January 17, 2006 11:23AM

If Cladking so decided to publish a book on his knowledge I would do all the computer layout work on it, photography that needed to be done, and would talk to my publisher about getting it in print.

My book is on the shelf at Barnes and Noble nationwide - nothing is impossible.

CarlWohlforth · January 17, 2006 12:55PM

CC: finish your sketches first! CK: write the book! I want to own rights to both!!!!! If not please let me know what I can do to help either of you realize your dreams! PM's are preferred.

Should we, and if so, how can we draft/compel Cladking to write a book on Clads?
