Say I did do one on Allis-Chalmers. What would be of more interest. One of JUST the Agricultural Division or an overall snapshot of AC? What would be a bigger hit. Just for future reference.

Austin, I would say to get started, cover the AG division, in detail, first. Then maybe a second book covering the whole Corp?
Can you give us a quick summary of your current book?

If you click on the link I posted above the picture...it will take you to Barnes&Noble. If you scroll down on that page it will get an overview of the book and I think you can take a peak inside the book. I should also mention that Allis-Chalmers did make an appear in the Markesan book. Wilde Implement was our AC dealership :) I got a good pic of theinside and the outside.
