drinks a night -- for three weeks. After three or four articles, I'd have
so many new ideas spinning off I'd have to stop and scribble them before
they popped.

A very cool book. No hangovers the next day, too.
So will there be a stack of the book or what?
A hypertext form of the book, given its content, seems a logical step.
Depending on time and resources, this could be anything from a hot-text
version of the book, with index and so on per the '89 Hypertext stack, to a
CD-ROM interactive multimedia presentation with high-quality sound and video.
Ideal would be some interface style, gimmick -- _something_ -- within each
article linking it to the theme of that section, plus minor links to related
articles in other sections.
Oops, sorry; my dreams are showing.
Frankly, I don't care what form. As soon as the book is digital so I can
annotate and cross-reference the articles to my heart's content, I'll stop
ripping -- er, flipping pages to follow up an idea in another article
suggested by the current one.
If Apple has something in the works already, great. I'll wait, patiently
drooling.
If not -- what're you waiting for?!
