It will NEVER be complete. Even if you take those ten years, two weeks after you publish you will find something else that should have been in it.

That's why you publish a new edition every year and make sales to all of your previous customers.

Is there a way to change this?

Chatzilla I'm not.

I'm interested in knowing if anyone else is working on a Numismatic Research Project.

RWB, you don't count, probably working on three or four. \:\)

If so, what is your project, have you found anything new, what keeps you going, what has caused the most pain, and how close to finished are you?


My project is a few comics reference books:

New stuff? because it's such an unresearched field, new stuff pops up all the time

What keeps me going the thought of being published.

Caused the most pain:
Thinking you have everything nailed down, only to find out you've missed 37 items

How close to finished am I?
if I really buckle down, a year or so



Sounds interesting and wish you much luck.

You guy's are probably right, just need to put something out there. \:\)

Thanks Lee. You and Roger and others put my research skills to shame.

By the way...you're not a chatzilla anymore. ;\)
