Your point raises an interesting question, though. Has anyone successfully crowd-funded a non-fiction book?

Yes.

And if someone were to do a proper biography of Julie London I would be in.

Assuming it was covering her acting career, her singing career, her marriage with Jack Webb, the active social life she and Bobby Troupe had for many years, her kids, whole enchilada basically. So far the offerings about her life have been pretty lame.

There are many books for which there is a market waiting for a dedicated author.
