I have asked Yanosey directly on this.
When the book came out, sales were "so-so", but
since then there seems to be more interest in this road. We'll see what he
has to say.
One of the problems is getting more good
material. When I did the guide, I had about a five hundred or so photos to
work from. (In fact, this was a pleasant surprise, as I assumed not too
many folks shot PC cars.) The best went into that book, leaving also-rans
and other stuff not really first rate. Where will more images come
from? Yanosey now wants as many photos in each book as possible (used to
be limited to about 300) because cost of reproducing has dropped. So, if
my color guide work has been any indication, we'll need yet another 400-500 to
work from, assuming the normal percentages apply (good film vs. second
rate). But, on the good neews side of the coin, we can now use dupes with
pretty good success (heck, I know which ones are dupes in my books and often I
cannot tell when the finished product arrives!) so perhaps more will allow their
work to be used if they don't have to worry about originals.
