Sergei Wrote:Bob, It does not need to be a dream. Write it! The ownership power of this forum (so to say) is awesome: how about - one 'manager' - Art, Paul, Alexei, Dave - lots of names - anybody with experience and desire to become responsible for a project, with the owners of individual awards contributing their scans, research, descriptions, measurements, interesting stories, all this put together in a series of books - Mongolian Awards, East European Awards, New Russian Stuff And Why Would Anyone Bother, Fakes and How to Recognise Them - sold at a reasonable price to the rest of the world (but at a discount to the beginners ;)), proceeds shared in proportion to the amount of bookspace. After all, we spend more time reading and writing here ( I certainly do) then it would take to put up a publishable write-up. Sergei.
Actually, I am working on a "monograph" (for lack of a better word) on a phaleristic topic and will share once close to completion for review.
