I'm sure the book will still be great, Mike, but am bummed that it's going to be in black and white. Pennants are all about the color and there are so many beautiful color combinations out there. The pre-war pennants, like those that Mike H. and Mark have graciously shown on this forum, always remind me of painted works of art. That Detroit pennant Mike has is just killer.
We got lucky when we did our book on Breweriana. The publisher funded the whole thing, did all the photography, and made it in color from front to back. The cover price on our book (not that any of the authors made any money on it, it was more just a labor of love) was about ten dollars more than what you have on yours.
How did you establish the values assigned to the pennants?
I know the values we assigned in our book were obsolute before it even got out of the printer's office.
Look forward to getting my copy.
