I really want to pull all this stuff together into a slim, seminal book.

The viewfoils were only a visual aid to go with my verbal explanations. I now regret not audio recording it, as there were also some great audience questions that added to it.

The [paper] button is supposed to hold all the explanations, but it is incomplete since it was done a couple months prior.

Well, if you have a PDF writer that would be easy and you could sell it on www.digitalmars.com

I like Bruce Eckel's method of having a free downloadable version, and then a physical book one can buy.

If you make an E Book, it is going to be more or less free to a lot of
people anyway.
With these file swapping programs around now, it  would be make it hard to
make any money on
the net.

A great many people are uncomfortable with reading from a computer screen. Take a look on at Bruce Eckel's books. They are freely available in html format, but as soon as they are published, millions run out to pick up a printed copy. I won't say never, but I don't see electronic books replacing the traditional ink&paper medium any time soon... Certainly not in my generation (at the end of which Walter will be long gone and making money will be someone else's problem).

Sorry, I wasnt clear, I meant that if he makes
an E Book that he would not be able to make
much money out of the E Book.

Wonderful.

It would be also interesting to read the questions from the public and the answers.
