Hi:

Does anyone know if there is a market for World War Two Letters. I have been thinking about going through my dad's letters to my mom and putting them together in a book. I also have the origianl picture of his Medical Corps when he was stationed at Camp Robinson, Arkansas. It is an original picture. I would love to put together a book of his letters if it would be worth it. His handwriting is difficult for me to read so I would only do it if it would be something people would be interested in reading. Too, there would have to be enough adventure in the letters to make it worth a book, also. I wanted to ask others of you what you think. I thank you for your honest feedback.

There is a market for that kind of thing. I think you might need to expand and perhaps tell the story of the area he was in during the war and how people coped with restrictions and rationing.

Thank you. I think you are right. I will need to expand or one side of the page tell what was happening at that time in history in the local area when he wrote the letter or letters; then, on the other side have the printed letter.

i think it is a good idea even if it is just for yourself personally (what a great christmas present for family members!!)
what i would suggest to do is to see what kind of books are being sold at big name book stores (here in canada we have chapters/indigo) its similiar to barnes & noble - just to see if there is anything similar to what you want to sell
