I finally have a publisher for the book on early gunsmithing. They want it recast as a history of American gun culture; then and now. No problem.
I need a catchy title for what will be a popularly targeted book. The book explores the evidence of America's gun culture through thew Mexican War; evidence of early gunsmithing and gun making and how the industry changed the world.
Suggestions for titles that would force you to buy?
Fifty Shades of Death . Gun smithing in America
ReplyDeleteThe Guns of Madison County.
The Story of the Gun
"Building the boom, a history of gun culture in America"
ReplyDelete"Home of the free, land of the boom"
I'll be back later if I come up with anything better.
