My Advice.....
I find the fact that three people (that I've seen) that are involved with the ICCS are all that have spoken up about this. Where is the sense of decency and standing up for yourself and what you believe in? I can't believe that the people that are remaining silent about this actually think its ok. Are they afraid of not being in the good graces of the powers that be?
Sue/Martyne has stated to investors for the last four years that the book is "almost done", and that she just "needs more money."
She said the same thing to Blue Book Publications about the Blue Book project. When they finally called her bluff and demanded to see her progress, there was nothing but a few leftover pictures and a box full of unopened material that cuemakers had sent. She strung them along because they were paying her fees & expenses, and she was riding on their reputation.
I suspect that this book is no different. How could it be "almost done" for four years?
The investors need to get an unbiased person from the publishing world to see the project. If it is "almost done" there should be pictures, text, graphics, layout, captions, a Table of Contents, an Index, cover design, numbered pages, jacket design, etc.
She likes to show off all of her nice pictures, but that is just a component of a finished book. We all know she has nice pictures anyway, Blue Book paid her fees & expenses for the ones she started this project with.
If it is going to debut at the show, she would have advance sample copies by now.
If she refuses to let a knowledgeable person look at her progress on the project, then we all know what the answer is on its real status. If anybody gives her more money, they should see a shrink.
