Does that mean there's actually a request for such a book?

How much would you imagine that the book should sell to break even?

> Is there people who are interested in writing it?

I wouldn't write such a book all by myself, but I'd gladly contribute. I
would however be interested in writing a book about MUI programming,
which some have requested me to do (I even started the table of
contents ;-) ), but I didn't think the marked was big enough to justify
my efforts (I'm not talking about profit but merely the fact that it
wouldn't be good for my self esteem if I spent e.g. a month on a book
that only 10 people would read).

It would probably be a good idea to collect requests about which topics
people would like to read about, as I imagine that even experienced
Amiga developers could be tempted to buy the book if it had the proper
contents. But perhaps that would make it more of a FAQ than a book...

Kind regards Allan
