One quick question for librarians
Posted in Books and publishing, Libraries on February 7th, 2013Would you buy (or do you believe others would buy) The Mythical Average Library: Dealing with Numbers?
Quick description: Looking at problems with statistics, misleading graphs, and so on; exposing the real complexity of public and academic libraries and how it’s masked in aggregate reporting; making sense of library numbers–and presenting them fairly.

If you want to add more than just “Yes” or “No”–e.g., “Not if it’s more than $15″ or “Only if it’s an ebook”–please do.
[There are really three questions, if you want to get detailed:
1. Is this a book that one of the major library publishers would find worth publishing?
2. Is this a book that could be sold via self-publishing?
3. Am I an appropriate person to consider doing this, which may influence 1 & 2?]
Thanks!
