Really Bad Idea?

[anaxcrosswords]

I've been approached by someone who intends to publish a puzzle book, but with four different types of puzzles from sudoku to cryptic crosswords. They want me to supply the cryptics.
It seems like a terrible idea - where is the crossover audience? If I'm a fan of cryptic crosswords why would I buy a book in which only a quarter of the puzzles are what I'm after? Then again, I think of the range of monthly puzzle magazines which seem popular enough.
Any thoughts?

What would the other two types be?

I do like a killer sudoku and cryptics, what are the other 2?

[anaxcrosswords]

Cryptogram and Word Scramble (whatever that is).

If I buy a puzzle book I like to have a range of different ones, so, someone like me would be your customer base.

Yes I'd be interested in that

I'm in agreement with you, Anax, even though I'm coming at it 'the other way round'.

I often look at crossword books in shops but I'm only interested in non-cryptic ones. I instantly reject anything which also includes cryptic crosswords. (I also reject well over 95% of the books of non-cryptic crosswords because they're all far too easy. Trying to find non-cryptic crosswords which are still a bit of challenge, akin to the Saturday Times 2 Jumbo clues, is like looking for hen's teeth!)

My thought? get your fee upfront.

they might be useful, for instance for someone (or a family) going on holiday.

If you're being offered a flat fee, the question of sales won't affect you.
