Most money:

1. A Simple Guide to TOP (Increase TOP sales too)
2. 50 Poker Hands that Really Teach You Somethinng
3. What Poker Teaches Us
4. Algebra for Ten Year Olds

I don’t think it would be remotely close between 1 and 4 in terms of revenue. The algebra book would have to get some remarkable acclaim to profit more.

I would buy A Simple Guide to TOP and 50 Poker Hands, as would most 2+2ers, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if you didn’t write them. I assume these two books would be quicker and easier to write than the other two.

What Poker Teaches Us? Self help? I would have to hear from others it is good before I bought it. This would have some potential.

As for the elementary algebra book, I think this would have to get some really good press to do well. I don’t see how Mason could be excited about publishing this. There are hundreds and hundreds of algebra books and plenty are targeted to people who think like 10 year olds. Regardless of how well you explain it, learning math takes effort and practice. Even if you understand the concepts, you have to practice and then later practice again (for the vast majority of people). Who wants to do that?

People aren't going to work to learn algebra unless they have to.
