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.

That makes perfect sense. I am assuming the first one will actually be a quality reference but with not as much information as the specialized books.
So good quality but not as great as the specialized books.
