21 months ago I had a coin book idea.

And now its at the end of the dream. First 2 copies of the book printed. One is for Washington DC ( being mailed Tuesday ) (for the copyright ) and one is my final proof reading copy to make any last corrections. This really does look like it will finally happen. Here's a few pictures of the final products with the binding.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
That is quite an accomplishment!

I agree! I really like the layout!
You should do a website so new listings can be added as you find them. That was one reason I did Franklin varieties as a website as opposed to a book.

Congratulations!
What a terrific achievement!
Many people have great ideas but never follow through because it is too much trouble.
I admire your dedication.
I remember laughing in that chat room with IGWT. Small world, huh ?

Congratulations !
The coin and currency nerds are always my group. Book nerds like to read to many things that dont hold my interest. Coins and currency is where I belong.
It is cool that it is at this point. one more proof reading and the copyright then its off for a ISBN or out to publishers. I might just do it all inhouse with the publishing if i can figure out what i need to do. ( I bought a book on the subject ). CD based sales might be the most cost effective way to produce this. Black and white editions can be done for 16.00 but I think at $20+ a copy even at a coin show would be hard to sell on a niche that the hobby over looks right now. CD will cut the cost and get it out there for everyone to buy and bring an open mind to the party. The color copy in print was $71 at staples. Another reason why CD with PDF's might be the way to go. Well see. I gotta look at the best way to do it and see what happens. Ill update you guys and gals on a release date and all If anyone knows of coin based publishers that might be interested in this work or you think might be in the area of publishing let me know. Im thinking of the publishers who do the red book and see how that goes.
Thanks to everyone's support through this process.

I would have given up 21 months ago. Don't forget the kindle & ebook editions.
