I think the big problem here is the money equation. A good author
(such as yourself) has to be passionate enough about the topics to
write a book that will still not make a great deal of money.
I wonder if taking a cue from the 37 Signals folks is a good idea. I
feel like many of these "focused topics" could sell well as
downloadable PDFs for, say, $9.95 per download.
