My current publisher isn't interested, and an agent I know says the internet has made it obsolete. I don't think so. People still hold paper now and then, and it sold well back then and would do better now. When it was current, I had a lot of credit cqrd debt and checking account overdraft charges, and the only lasting thing I bought with the royalties was a Yamaha studio upright piano for my wife, and it's ten feet from me right now. A reprint would take maybe 80 hours to update, and I don't have the time. But the topographies are unchanged, and the brief road descriptions are...in most cases still current, and the 80 hours would go mostly to adding maybe 20 more roads and making sure Road X didn't now intersect another road, or that urban sprawl hadn't completely obliterated all bucolic-ness of some of the nicer roads.
If I knew somebody trusty and not weird who had time to update it and would do it "to spec, with a short freedome leash" and agree to 25 percent of the royalties, and do the work on speculation with a modest kill fee if it didn't get published, I'd set that ball in motion...but it's a longshot. Mark here should do it. He'd be perfect, but I don't think he'd be interested.
