Re: Which Book Should I Write Next?
What is the purpose in writing the book? Are you driven by sales/money, self-fulfillment, world improvement, increasing name awareness? If you can explore why you want to do it, it may very well lead you to what to do next.
Expanding on the Algebra how about…
"All the Math you should know but don’t (A layman’s guide to not being an idiot)"
(I’m sure we can improve upon the idiot tag, possibly “A layman’s guide to all the functional math you’ll ever need”)
Investing?
“Life is a gamble, the investors guide to staying ahead of the blinds!” (yes I know its too poker specific but that concept)
We could replace “blinds!” with “cost of living” , “rising cost”, “the shifting global economies” or some what not.
50 POKER HANDS THAT REALLY TEACH YOU SOMETHING
I like the concept but not the title, you put 50 in the title it’s a stake in the ground that’s finite and some folks will not buy it because they think “Oh only 50”
Yes a stupid reason but you want to maximize the customers, or if you prefer keep it and help eliminate the stupid.
How about the same book but with the title…
“The Art of Discerning the Unknown a Master’s Guide to Reading Poker Hands”
A SIMPLE GUIDE TO "THE THEORY OF POKER"
I think this is a good choice too, but here I’d change the focus, while TOP is a brilliant book and what I’d really like to see is a hardbound limited autographed edition (at about any price, hint..hint..).
I think the simple guide is a good concept but you could make the book more accessible to the masses by limiting all examples to Texas Hold’em. Everyone now knows Hold’em, we are almost to the point where the average housewife knows it. By making it Hold’em focused it would truly simplify it by definition. Anything beyond that would be gravy…
OK Regis, my final answer…
David, you should do what ever will give you the most personal satisfaction.
You’ve got a team of folks here that would be willing to help in any way.
Just let us know what you need. If its marketing catchy stuff, give me a shout, I’ll put my marketing team to brainstorming.
