I was at the bookstore recently and seen this cute book on dogs.
Bad Dog : 278 Outspoken, Indecent, and Overdressed Dogs
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761139834/qid=1136448713/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-6287626-7215832?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
Basically it is a picture book of dogs dressed up in funny clothes with a subtitle of what the dog is saying or thinking...like the dogs have personalities or something. It was a very humorous book and seems to be selling well. Personally I think it is a very clever idea that is really tough to turn down in that market (dog lovers).
My question is, a book like that has around 278 pictures in it of dogs and is selling for $10. I've always thought that the more pictures, the more expensive the book would be. Naturally you would assume that the more pictures in a book the better, given most people are highly picture oriented. Also the pictures give nice breaks in the flow of reading and attract a much larger audience.
But if this is the case, that you can have around 300 pictures and still have a decently priced book, and be a top seller, why not add more pictures? Possibly even, pursue a picture book?
It's a fun idea that would be very easy to do. Probably wouldn't take more than a month or so depending on what you are taking pictures of. Just thought I'd throw that idea out there to see what others here think.
