I thought that the alternative would be single book with 2 pages per coin? You changed that along the lines?

Can you share some of the stuff that is explained in there? Most of the stuff should be easy to find in the OP of the relevant coins.

Isnt it ironic that books about cryptocurrencies are advertised for sell on bitcointalk in fiat money, instead of ... cryptocurrencies?

Incredible! There's people writing entire books on minor altcoins. I can't imagine there will be many people buying a single one. I wouldn't read them even if they were free to download. Perhaps the books were written by the same people who invented those altcoins, just as a promotion tool.

If u really want to get under the skin of ur shills handlers and gangstalkers, turn of ur mobile 24/7 go into a library everyday get one bigger

book like a comic and slide in watever book you secretly grab so they will never no wat the hell your doing, they will send

old dudes into the library day after day who will continually report your reading the same tin tin book everyday for 6 weeks

make sure no one sees u collecting or returning ur books including security cameras,  you will no doubt find something decent

to read, old books are valuable sources of information, they don't burn down libraries for nothing.

Tyke, out of curiosity, are you making any real money with these books? As I notice you are putting a lot of time, effort and even some printing money. In my eyes this is like a lost cause.

Each of these books took about 2-3 months to research and write.  I have made a modest return from sales, especially from the first book I published on 24/12/14.  I never personally view writing about cryptocurrency a waste of time.  I hope you understand.

Kind regards,
Christopher P. Thompson

I have no idea what you are trying to say lol

Happy second anniversary for DigiByte.  Many cryptocurrencies are over two years old now.  A great future is ahead :D

Why don't you write something about the leading crypto Bitcoin which will potential have more demands than those acts?

Many books have already been written about Bitcoin.  I want to write about something different.  I sometimes think that Bitcoin rides high partly due to it being the first cryptocurrency.  

How many copies did you sell? Inquiring mind would like to know. Can you give us a ballpark figure?

Since OP hasn't put a link up I haven't checked out Amazon yet, but am I to understand that each book is 2 pages long and sells for 5.99?  I think that's a bit much if that's true.  As far as writing about these particular coins, I don't think it's a bad idea but I can't imagine there's a whole lot to write about at this point.  But I could be wrong.  I'll check it out on Amazon.

Might it not be better to write one book with chapters on each individual coin?  NorrisK has also suggested this and I think it's a good idea.

I wrote a book about cryptocurrency back in 2014 (included 38 coins).  After its publication back on the 24th of December 2014, I embarked on writing books on individual coins.  For particular coins, there is significant material available to write about.  

VNL is controversial enough to deserve your attention

I like your "Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" A Beginner's Reference" book, very informative and a good reference book, I myself am writing a crypto book to be released next year.

Oh, I am interested to know more about your project.  Have you got any links to preliminary material?  Thank you for your praise. 

My project started off nearly a year and half ago and was started as a crypto guide but as I have wrote more (and updated accordingly with the ever changing landscape) it has become more of a book, I've registered the ISBN etc and will be releasing some contracts later in the year for graphics / advertising but for now all is under wraps.

I'll be sending sections out to set people for feedback and will keep you on my list 😀

Thank you.  I wish you success with it.  I will most probably buy it :)

 ;D Thanks, I'll keep you updated

I have decided to release a preview of the first monthly chapter in the book "Dogecoin - History of the First Year".  Please send back any constructive feedback.  Here it is:

I just received my copy from Amazon and it's a brilliantly authored text!

Thank you

This sounds very interesting.

Will there be additional books created in the future?

Probably about Nxt or IOTA?

To be honest, I have never heard about Reddcoin or the Digibyte.

There will definitely be further books written in the future.  I designed a potential front cover for a NXT history book:

I've heard there will be a Goldcoin (GLD) book. Should be an interesting and HIGHLY entertaining read detailing our first dramatic year.
