I think the two groups might be different, but certainly overlapping. I
think the book could easily target both. I'm a user, not a collector, pure
and simple. When I have two of something, I sell the nicer one. My 4T is a
beater, but works great. I use everything (although I admit, sometimes it
takes me awhile to get through everything <g>).
Others prefer to store it or view it or even use it.
I still think this book could be useful for both groups.
I'd buy it, particularly if it included the photography of the group.
