I am sure the helpful people at IMAO’s comment section can help with the blurb.
“I found this book very useful when I planned a family trip to Florida. The pages are full of useful information, warnings, taunts and pure bigotry. Highly recommended.”
I like it. But for an e-book, you need to flesh it out. Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and the minor outerlying islands. But no D.C. That place sucks.
I might buy it. Or I might just borrow it from Iowa Jim and not give it back.
I agree with Jimmy. Your usual picture could pass for one of those hippie know-nothing middle school teachers who got into teaching when they found out there wasn’t any money in the anthropology industry.
It might be fun to have the map be a “Map of the World” But with just the US on it.
blarg – Might as well. Figure most of it’s already free online, and those who would ONLY read it for free wouldn’t have bought the thing anyway, so it’s not like I’d be losing sales.
You need to make sure and thank everyone who built the roads and bridges which made that ebook possible. You don’t need to thank them on the cover or anything, but page 2 would let them know that they hold a special place in your heart.
Hey, Harvey! Why not call it “Fun Facts About the 57 States” and stick in 7 made up states just for fun? You know, like West Nebraska and Buchanazona or whatever… and then you can have material in it never published here on IMAO! Plus, it plays on a running Obama joke and who would think that’s a reference book? Just sayin’…
If I thought people would buy the book because it had a cool cover, he’d be at or near the top of my list.
It’s only going to be bought – if at all – by Moon Nukers, or people who stumble onto a post for one of the states via Google & go “He did all 50? Cool! I want it!”.
Assuming I’m right, I don’t see a reason to spring for fancy cover art.
That would be a better book title for Obama’s biography. Just sayin.

James –
If it were Obama’s biography, it would reference fifty-seven states, not fifty.

The cover would work if you put your face on that stick figure. You know, the portrait you always use.

I’d buy that for a dollar! Or more.
Sure I’d buy it if you promise not to beg and plead like Frank did (will). Maybe a subtitle “A book for Americans by an American” printed in China
Or I might just borrow it from Iowa Jim and not give it back.
I’m still awaiting the return of that female Siamese.
Yes, do it!
Also, you should do a bonus Fun Facts About America.
Not lovin’ the stick figure…just sayin’.
Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. But only if I can buy a hardcopy.
I’d be happy enough to see you finish the fifty states. Maybe even Canada, aka “America Jr.”
I’d pirate the crap out of that!

Also, I need to do part of the foreword or a recommendation blurb about what a genius you are!
Are we talking e-book or something coffee-table size with lots of pictures?
Either one is good for me.
