Blog expansion and travel book

I need help!  I am writing a travel book, so I appeal to you to give me some assistance.


     As many of my blog followers know, I travel a lot.  I plan to write a book on my favorite places in the world that I visited--50 natural places and 50 man-made places.  These appear on page three (second photo) below, and a map (still unfinished) on page 5 shows where many of them are located.  I might have a company publish the book--or I might publish it myself.  This blog entry is to help me gauge the market for such a book, so I am asking you some questions to help me determine if I have a viable product.  So, please help me determine that.  Incidentally, the title "Nines and Tens" refers to the ranking I give each of these hundred places, all ranking either a nine or ten on a scale of 1-10.  The book will be 10" high by 15" wide, and it will have 296 pages and 830 photos.  There will be a book version and an e-book version, which can be projected onto a TV screen as well as a desktop or laptop computer.  There will also be a webpage that will have up to 2000 additional photos of these hundred places plus many more that "didn't make the cut."  All the photos on this blog and others in the book are copyrighted by me. 
     Finally, the book includes 85 stories of experiences I had in my travels, some of which appear in the pages below.

     Questions:
     1. Would you be willing to pay $60 for the book version?
     2. Would you be willing to pay $30 for the e-book version?
     3. Would you like to see me expand my garden blog to include a travel blog?
     4. Do you have any comments?
  
   Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide me.  Your comments and contact information will not be disclosed to any person or firm.

Texas time (Part 2)

        Here are the rest of the photos of the wildflowers of South Texas I took in April.  Again, I wish I knew the names of the beautiful flowers I saw.  I think the last photo is of bluebells.  If anyone can tell me the names of any of the flowers, I would appreciate contacting me.
