I like the idea of a Best of the Mudcat book, if only because I would hope to show up in it (perhaps my posting of Follow the Drinking Gourd).

As a perennial doomsayer, I wonder who would buy such a book. I suppose those of us still employed might purchase one, but that may only be a hundred of us. Most people just pop in and out of the Mudcat.

Outside of that population (Mudcatters) who would buy it. Even in Folk Music circles I have difficulty getting people interested in even peeking at the Mudcat.

So, I ask, where is the market?
