I am waiting on a quote for a standard binding, but I am afraid it will still be quite expensive because they will want to print 500 or a 1000 books. At a $100 printing price (just guessing here) that would be $5,000-$10,000 in books sitting until a lot of people bought the books. Maybe I should give Trevor a call and see what he thinks.

I'm sure there is a market for these books in your traditional market for Kirkham owners and for Cobra fans who would love one of your cars, but may not be able to afford one.

Perhaps you could think of non-traditional markets to sell your books to.

Maybe advertising the book in some engineering magazines?

Or how about getting the prototype car on a tour for display in art or science museums around the country where they would sell copies of the book in the museum gift shops? Maybe that is thinking too far outside of the box...
