There is something I do not get really well. How come publication houses were bidding on a book not yet written? Doesn't it make more sense to write a book then appreciate the content of it? Sorry, I must say I am not very well aware of how it works with book publishers, but it seemed more logic to me that they would want to pay once the book would be written, not to say that Mr Biggs isn't going to make an astonishing book. Congratulation again. Congratulation Mr Biggs.

I'm a mechanical watch geek (although not of the first order: I don't make my own), and I'd love to read about it. The concept actually sounds damn interesting.

I'm one in the same, I love history and was actually going to major in archeology. But I did a summer internship during high school and the archaeologist I was working with made it abundantly clear that if I wanted to make money not to go into that field. I love money to much, so I figured I'd keep it as a hobby lmao. Whoa, Thats crazy man. I didn’t know you enjoyed history as well as gadgets.
