I am considering putting out a new PRINTED medicine guide in 2112 (assuming the world doesnt end).
I have put out a CDROM price guide for many years but people are always asking for an actual paper book.
I would appreciate some feedback from forum members about what they would like to see in a bottle book.
Answer as many questions as you can. If you dont want to post the answer here you can email me mknapp@antiquemedicines.com
A lot of effort goes into this so I want to try and get it right.
My feeling at the moment is to do something similar to the Fruit Jar Redbook in phyical format (large paperback).
THanks.
1. What size book is best , a large 8 1/2 x 11 (thinner) or a small handbook like Kovels/Polak size (thicker)?
2. How important are photos, are drawings ok?
3. Would you want actual average values, dollar price ranges, a relative rarity indication, or no values at all?
4. What type of binding is preferred? Paperback stitched, paperback spiral/comb, hardback stitched?
5. What level of bottles should be included? Rare, Common, All?
6. Would you still want a cheaper CDROM option?
