I think it kinds of depends on the project. I'm working on a series of books about state symbols and came up with a scheme that works (for me, at least).
I wouldn't call the first book in the series low quality; it's actually far better than the competition. However, I'm not going to go into great details in describing individual symbols, offering more of an overview instead. I'm also not going to put much work into footnotes, endnotes, references, etc.
After that book's published, I'm going to work on books focusing on particular categories of symbols, such as state flags or birds. Each of those books will have a greater emphasis on quality (or thoroughness), including more detail, endnotes and references, etc.
