Yes, you are right - but of course potential publishers would see it a
different way. Thats not necessarily a problem, since my comittment to the
people who spared me interview time is that I will self-publish if a
publishing company can't be found to take on the project.

Still, its one of the risks you take when picking on a subject to write
about - theres *always* going to be somebody else having a crack at the same
material. The goal is just to produce the better, more insightful or more
authoritative end result.
