As some of you may have heard, some of the guys from FTA have written a french technical book on the GS explaining how to do *EVERYTHING* on the machine in low-level form. The book is called 'Le IIgs epluche', or, loosely translated, 'The Apple IIgs revealed'. The book is definitely directed towards the *VERY* technical programmers and is very informative how to do pretty much everything (including drive controls) on the GS without the 'aid' of the toolbox. I have a copy of the book in french as well as the rights to the US market for this book. I'm still working on the translation and I am looking for any interested publisher for the book. I have tried the classic publishers, like Addison Wesley, but the only response I have received is that they no longer consider the Apple IIgs publsihing market a viable market (!). Well, they may think so, but I believe that a lot of people can benefit from this book, no matter what apple's plans for the Apple IIgs line are. If I should fail to find any publisher for the book, I intend to 'home publsih' it and sell and print it on an 'on-demand' basis. My question is mainly how many of you would be interested in this publication and/or do you have any recommedations for an intersted publisher and how to contact them. Please E-mail your replies to me and I will summarize. Thanks, Harry K. Zink uucp : ucrmath!alchemy!hzink | Achieve True Wealth and Financial Independence!

You seem to have built up quite a following here, why not try to
make an limited edition run of the english version (say 500 copies) and
then sell them via mail order (snail mail of course)? I think there are
several companies around the country that produce 'vanity books' that is
when an author wants to push a book real hard he/she will get actual hard
cover books made and send them out or have a number of older books bound
together in a set. You could probably make a nice sum of $$$ on this if you
try....and make a number of us happy who would willingly part with our $$$
for such a book....
