    Thanks for your input!

    Yes, casting a wide net is what I'm attempting.  I have a fair amount of press coverage already, but some outlets don't seem interested in covering the release of this singular book (in English) on South Korean coins for some reason (CoinWeek, for example).   I don't blame them; after all, it's the editor's choice as to what they cover or not cover based on what they think their readership might be interested.  And to be fair, there are lots of coin book releases that numismatic media outlets don't cover.  

    As far as sales, this book actually is selling well, considering that it supposedly appeals to a smaller collector base, as you mentioned.  I think there's more collectors of S. Korea here in North America than even I expected! 

    Sales are faster than I expected, too.   I was surprised that almost all of the major auction businesses and third party graders (based in the USA) bought a copy (or multiple copies) at the Chicago Show in August.  

    So, it's not all bad news... it's just that I'd like to more effectively reach my potential customers instead of them "accidentally" finding out about the book, as seems to be the case for now.
    If only there were more of them, there really aren't enough of them. Coins are always interesting as for me. I wrote about this recently and found a samples collection, used http://studydriver.com/ for this. My dad has been collecting coins for 20 years. He cannot live a day without them. Every day he surfs the Internet and looks for everything.

    I was surprised as well as you. Didn't know about this information.
