If your work:
the concept, the photographs, the words, the design, the editing
were all done with integrity and a solid sense of quality.

Where does the embarrassment come from?

If Kyle had published "Armed America" himself
would the concept and photographs be somehow "less-than?"

I fully acknowledge that it's wonderful when
world class publishers, book agents, historians and editors
seek "our" brilliant work and put large sums of money into
publishing 10's of thousands of volumes with our name on the cover;
and send "us" out on signing tours ? to "real" bookstores and all.

My only point is that "limited edition"
has always had every bit as proud a history
in the world of letters, art prints and photographs;
as "best seller."
In fact - to many - a far more interesting history.
