...and being at the beginning is a good thing, Especially when it's being penned by you, as we all know it's going to be as complete as possible. Wheather the book has a price guide or not (and I know you'll incorporate one for the betterment of the hobby), you and all that were willing to help will be part of a happy ending. For those that you mentioned that flat out refused to cooperate; they simply just lose.
