A good try but lots of problems. To start with it sounds like it is only for Canada. Wouldn't help much in the USA unless someone is collecting Canadian coins.
However, the main problem I see is it is basically only a checklist. Almost everyone I know already uses some form of checklist. Most use a scratch piece of paper with coins they are looking for. To buy a book for that much money and using only once is sort of expensive. By once I mean it is a check list and once you checked out something, now what. Carry an eraser incase you find a better coin? What if you have 2, 3 or more collections of one type? Now must have more than one book? If this is a book intended for the amateur for coin information, that is OK. But note there are many, many books out there explaining grading, condition, quatity minted and even approximate values. No your price is decent but your fighting the numerous other types of such books, pamphlets, magazines, etc. already out there. As an example look at the famous
Red Book by Whitman Publishing. And also, check out the Whitman web site. Many, many books on coins, coin collecting, etc. Actually I think they too have something similar to what your showing.
