Does anyone on here feel a need...

[Reginald Rutledge]

to write a book about miniature football?

I, myself, have always considered writing a book about my experiences in miniature football but I wonder if anyone else has given it serious thoughts? Everyone have had their own experiences in the game and many of us have enough memories for a lifetime.

However, I wonder is anyone reflective enough to take the time and initiative to account for those times. I could write a book on "The DFW" alone but you always wonder, from a financial perspective, would there even be an audience?

I know once somebody began to write a book about "the toy" but I don't think it was ever finished. Being a history buff, I love reading and watching things from the past just so I don't repeat it.

I don't know, maybe y'all have or have not thought that far down the road???

Just wondering...

I think this is something that has to be done. Matt Culp is very interested in this project and there are others who have expressed interest. I think that a professionally thought out historical reference and how to book would be a fantastic addition to the hobby, not only for collectors, but as a recruitment tool.

I would certainly offer my services to this project.

Been working on a book for a couple months now. Who knows if I will ever finish it, but I add to it when I can. We will see.

i have been thinking about it ............. but ?

[WEIRDWOLF]

I would love to see it as a MFCA project where each member who has something to submit sends it to a central editor in chief and his committee. I know there are those that have started books and not to take away from their efforts, but rather than having 4 different projects going, coordinate into one effort. I think this would be a fantastic project for our membership and possibly one of the best things we could leave behind for future generations.

I think you guys have already started the Book
It is called the Tweak.

[Reginald Rutledge]

that many guys are not even aware of that were not there in the beginnings of what has come to be. Many guys know some of the history but not a lot of the history.

The Tweak is a magazine, not a book (just my opinion Rookie). A book is something that chronicles the milestones and achievements of the game, not just individuals.

There were things in the early years of Tudor, conversations between Lee Payne and myself, the Klingbeils, the Landsmans, Myron Evans, trips to Superior Toys, and Tudor, and other things before the Internet where many of us were talking via Stadiumtalk,
The Read Zone, Outside the Lines, and other publications that were the forerunner.

There were characters who were as colorful and understood the importance of giving back to the game, hoping that someday the game would take its rightful place.

The game is viewed from the eyes of different people in different perspectives and a book can be written in that way or by one person's perspective. There's no right way or wrong way, only that the person has to be dedicated to the task.

Everyone tells a story with their own flava, in their own way, but everybody does not have that unique ability to convey those thoughts in an eloquent way to move people.

I just wondered if y'all had given it much thought. This was not to force this thinking on anyone, just wondering how many think about giving back instead of just taking information.
