But the use of internet has changed all that, and The Aerodrome is a good example of why, because suddenly that book on French balloon construction has a market, and a way to market via a relatively easy method of making it known to people who might buy it, as well as a way to distribute it. Still not going to sell a million copies, but generally speaking, many WW1 books are as much a labour of love as anything else.

Hello Chock!
Forgive my intervention to this topic, please!
I know few people which would like to see the "book on the stitching techniques and camouflage used on WW1 French Balloons". Can you provide a bit more details (may be starting another thread)?
Regards,
Yavor
