I wish you the best and will certainly buy a copy as soon as it comes out either way...

I like how JJ put it. I'm going to buy your book regardless, as are many, if not the majority of the folks that frequent this forum. I would appreciate info re why some something works and why you chose to fish there... why that particular spot and what made you chose a particular presentation. While I won't say that I wouldn't love to know what works and where, I'm ok with a more general observation. I hope I'll figure the rest out, catch some large and feel damn good that I caught them with a bit of my own smarts added in and didn't just follow the map to the x and dig, if you know what I mean. I may be naive here, but how many people that aren't serious surf fisherman that want to get better and are willing to put in time hunting fish are going to a) buy your book and b) visit BI to fish? Not many, right?
Finally, what will sell the book on a larger scale will be the stories, not X marks the spot. A heckuva story is key and while I don't know you from Adam, from the bit I've read you might have a few stories worth telling. I for one hope so. I'm planning on taking a few of Gary Soldati's plugs to BI next month and trying my luck. Hopefully I can find a few of the places I'll eventually read about in your bestseller!!!!!! Best of luck to you and the book.
