Of the suggested titles so far, I like this one best.
This sounds like a very ambitious project, and if you do plan on travelling
all over the world for it, I must say I will be very impressed if such a
book really could be on the store shelves as early as 2004.
I also wonder what the market really would be. I would suspect that FOL's
or families of FOL's would be the only consumers who would actually do more
than give it a flip-through in the store. If the goal is to sell it, there
is a good chance it will sell most to people already in the community. Of
course, I could be totally wrong here. I dunno.
Nonetheless, you can add my name to those who support the idea. I think it
would be great to have a nice coffee table book with images of models that
are familiar and the builders who are not. Feel free wander my way with
questions if you want to include notes about the Starship RPG, Valyance, or
the general building habits of Western Mass collectors. :)
Cheers,
