Good idea to sell a book.
In these days of struggle, you have to have the money to buy the book and take time off work to travel with extra money for transportation, hotels, eating out and tools/supplies. Probably must be young and physically fit to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and dive to a shipwreck since there’s pirate treasure listed. Well, as they say, you gotta have money to make money. Count me out.
He could really spice it up with some Santo Gold in those chests...

For those who don’t get the reference, Santo Gold is next-level ‘80’s kitsch so bizarre as to be almost unbelievable.
The mastermind behind the Santo Gold concept (shown singing in the second video) was convicted of fraud and spent about a year in prison. This was for a ponzi scheme he developed in the mid 1980’s related to the vending of 24K gold electroplated jewelry and chains.
His other venture was a self-produced film with a plot based around professional wrestling and outer space bad guys, which he billed as a horror comedy. The film was of course awful but did play in a few theaters.
Where it gets crazy is that he would intermingle his marketing for both projects in late-night infomercials which aired between 1985 and 1987 and are now notorious. The shows would start as an ad for cheapo gold chains but would morph into a trailer for this wrestling horror film and then back again, with only the flimsiest of segues connecting them. You really just have to see it to believe it.
