Re: I start to write my book
My feelings, for this venture, could perhaps best be expressed from a line, from Elvis Costello: Everday I write the book....

I do not require a large deposit of the publisher, enought to live simple in the Poconos, so I can focus on my menuscript.

Re: I start to write my book
Vaclav, perhaps I can help, with the research, we can meet at Nat Sherman, for a churchill, and then to the reading rooms of the NYPL for the truth? I also was thinking perhaps a "Best of Grayson" since the man, himself, is to very shy or modest, to write his book. But the Best Of idea -- we collect all the miscellaneous reviews and writings, and put it together, to form, an opus. Or better, yet, Grayson could do, the forward to, your book.

Re: I start to write my book
In all seriousness, a book illustrating the history of traditional style would be a refreshing, classic tome. After all the vainglorious bloviating about Machiavellian dressing, I think the more well-balanced among us seek rather a pastoral view of clothes.

Re: I start to write my book
If you write it in Japanese, please include some classical ornamental language. It is quite elegant.
