The only consideration might be if the real   MYTHBUSTERS   go all crankypants  whoop*ss  legal-eagle on your personage!   Great publicity though.  .... what chance of getting <a href="http://rs2img.memecdn.com/kari-byron_o_284248.jpg" target="_blank">Kari</a> <a href="https://brainsyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/www_plus613_net_byron9.jpg" target="_blank">Byron</a>    |8.|  on the cover?! What style?  ..... well I would just say professional, we'll laid out, logical and easy to read.  Keep the conversational bits as interjections, stories and anecdotes.  A picture tells a thousand words, .... have plenty of them -- cutaways, cad drawings, technical illustrations, diagrams etc  link these to the various eyepiece and optical designs and what we see.  If you can tie the whole kit and caboodle together - mechanical and optical design /manufacturing,  resolution, colour and perceived brightness, transmission, MTF curves, Contrast, Glare, CA, Distortions and effects, field curvature, eye geometry, processing and functioning, neural quirks and knowledge summary, then you'll be doing pretty darn good !!ONE SERIOUS CAUTION:  Don't fall in to that particularly American trap of selling in advance what you will be saying ie. The " coming up 10 things that the ordinary person just doesn't know - I'd like to tell you, but unless you are an insider I just don't think you'll want to know what you don't know blah blah blah blah blah" type of waffle.  No offense but some of your earlier posts here were guilty of that ---- if you've got something earth shattering to say -- for gawd sake just spit it out !!   If there are a whole host of conflicting design considerations and compromises - detail them!  explain them!  ...... Industry info?  -  let's have it!  (In my mind I'm picturing Dr McCoy saying something like -- dammit man - just spit it out already !!!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I strongly recommend that you make it current ie. include cutaways, pics (including grid style through bin shots), details and tests of the Zeiss SF,  Leica UltraVid HD+,   Swaro A-K SLC's and SV, Nikon EDGII, SE, and EII, plus any upcoming prototypes you can get your hands on  .......:t:The Canon IS and other stabilized bins, and the Sony digital bins make for fascinating cutaways and study. Reflector style bins - postulate away! Etc, etc, etc, etc ......Pricing? ..... A bit less than the value provided --- everybody loves a bargain!   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />$20 - 30 sounds about right ......Good luck!Chosun   :gh:</blockquote>
