The very least--they should put you on tour at every gun show in America.
The book would sell like crazy there--and you'd probably get commissions out
the wazoo for more portraits.

As I noted before, with this book you'll become the Karsh of ordnance.

> will you be touring through D.C.
 
At the moment, there are no plans for a tour, though I might do some
local signings. Figure that it costs ... $200 a day to be on the road,
so I'd need to make sure that I sold at least thirty or more books a day
to cover expenses (for my publisher) -- without knowing how well
something will sell, it could be a losing proposition for my publisher
to put me on tour.
 
What I am doing is making up book-plates that I'll sign for anyone who
sends me an appropriately sized SASE and you can glue it into the front
of your copy. 
 
If sales go crazy, a tour might happen. Especially if they can package
me with a couple of other authors to cut down on expenses.
 
So .. the answer is "who knows".
