I am leaning towards a spiral bound or paperback as being the best options for it iven what it will be.

I do not want to go the on CD only route as it is chinsy and too prone to copying.

Since it's a how to book I think a spiral bound book would be better as the page would stay open to the section the person needed a paperback always wants to close it's cover. Agree with the CD too.

Brian in order to keep publishing cost at a minimum you might consider making it available as an e-book as well as a conventional print version. This would also make it possible to imbed videos which would be quite innovative.

I think Bill's idea of a spiral binding makes a lot of sense. You can open it up to the correct page and put it on your workbench while you are following Brian's crystal clear directions.

Brian,
I'll buy at least one copy and maybe more to give as gifts. I know that lots of collectors have wanted something like this for a long time.

I am new to this expensive and addicting pass time but I would take two copies for sure.And I am sure that with your talent for explaining things you might be surprised how fast and many might sell.
I would suggest a chapter on condition(case color,engraving).I think your insight would be helpful on these.
Look forward to the book.

Brian I will buy one. You might talk to Daniel Cote from DGJ and get him to mentor you.

Brian: I wholeheartedly support your proposed book project, and I would certainly buy one. It also occurs to me that perhaps you should approach Blue Book Publications with your idea. After all, this publishing house issued the Parker Gun Identification & Serialization, so the precedent is certainly there. Anyway, it seems to me its worth a try. Best of luck with the project.
