After some deliberation, I have changed plans slightly.

As of now, I do not intend to post the entire book on-line for free.

I will be selling a small batch of pre-ordered physical copies, and some time after publication, I will offer the eBook version on Amazon and potentially other sites including my own (www.coinfirm.org). I have not yet determined the price at which these will sell. The book will have its own ISBN number, and be in all ways a legitimate, self published work.

Also, I will be cutting out 'ads' from the book. No more ads; this is a professional, specialized publication and not some magazine. If you would like to be a big-ticket sponsor, contact me as I may be able to offer a sponsorship to one single company.

I will, however be adding a coin information source and gallery to my website, but this will not come any-time soon. The reason for this change is twofold. Firstly, a website is a better medium to present the information. Secondly, this project has grown to be a much larger undertaking then originally planned; from a casual 'industry directory/magazine' type book a serious, academic work.

Perfect Bound, full color, shipping included*, signed, and numbered (up to 100 maximum) physical copies remain for sale as a pre-order at the price of 70 GBP.  Contact me to make a pre-order, or do so at https://www.startjoin.com/CoinFIRM2

There are NO plans to sell physical copies after publication, so this may be your only chance.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Crowdfunder 2.0 is live!


https://www.startjoin.com/CoinFIRM2

Spread the word!

Unfortunately that crowd funder expired unsuccessfully. Perhaps I should re-launch, as we were close to the goal. It was myh first time doing a crowd fund, so a few bumps are expected..

Books can be reserved at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11061516

I'd be curious to see where this went/goes.  You should start a Kickstarter campaign for this, it seems like an interesting idea.
