Thanks for the feedback, eileenhawkeye.
So persistence and a literary agent would facilitate the goal.
I just wondered if it was the perspective of the book that was of issue.
Looking forward to it's eventual publication,
also just wondered if ... it's a niche book,
and what other difficulties SD might be facing in his attempts.
Yes, I'm aware of SG's pre-election stance.
I dunno, following the JBR case .... it's a frustrating exercise,
I'm just left of fence-sitting, unable to ignore
PR's designation in the handwriting analysis,
and
unable to comprehend how the hymenal erosion issue can be a non-issue.
Within the subculture, the precarious nature of the dna results is a consideration, but the popular media has declared it otherwise.
Not intending to be abrupt? or duplicitous,
it' just difficult to negotiate that grey area, when you're a FSer.

The four bestselling books about the JonBenet case were by JonBenet's parents, a lead detective on the case, an already NYT Bestselling Author, and a nationally known forensic pathologist. When the publishers were marketing the book to the public, they could use the parent/detective/bestselling crime author/top forensic pathologist angle to get people to buy the book, since there are already so many books on JonBenet out there. Back in the 90s/early 2000's, it would have probably been easier for an everyday person to get a book published about this case, but the book would probably be published by a small publishing house, who wouldn't be able to market the book as well, and only be able to print thousands of copies instead of millions of copies.
Also, does anyone know how many copies PMPT, DOI, and JBR have sold in all? I know that PMPT had sold about 525K copies in its first two months but I'm not sure how many copies they all sold in all.
