Hi Gary,
I meant to post to this thread when it was new, but better late than never I
guess. :)
Anyway, I was thinking about this issue of printed vs. CD again today and
wondered if you'd thought about doing both? Sort of like what Eric suggests
above, but a little different.
In other words, you seem to have set a cut-off date for yourself with regard to
the historical set and part information. I think you've said 1994? Sorry if
that's wrong. If that's the case, why not make that the printed part of the
project. In other words the information that's not likely to change any time
soon.
Then, on the CD you can include (and more readily update) the valuation
information.
It's just my thoughts. I'm sure you'll make the best decision based on your own
knowledge of the book and the information you're trying to present. I wish you
the best of luck with it.
Regards,
Allan B.
