Rob,
While I think it is an admirable idea, I do believe, as you do, it will be a
hard sell to a publisher. Do you think Renault, I mean Nissan would be
interested in supporting your idea?
But I am sure you will have to write the book and gather the photos to make
a strong proposal. I don't think anyone will give you money w/o cash on the
barrel-head so to speak.
How about on the Net?
