But seriously, while _I'd_ only want to write a
book that's correct and
complete (and therefore does document every last gate in the device), I
guess few people would ever want to read it.
You could release it in pdf format on the internet with a $5 shareware
fee, or something. I'd certainly buy it, and I'm sure lots of other
people (such as the ones who subscribe to this list) would as well. The
information is invaluable.

Yes, but I'd never want to take money from fellow collectors for
something like this :-). You've all given me far too much help over the
years for that.
One day, if I've got some free time, I might try 'documenting' some of
the classsics to gate level or whatever. And I'd put the LaTeX source
under the GPL for the benefit of other collectors. Just don't expect an
introductory level book. And don't expect it to be soon :-)
Yes, LaTeX. Since it can actually be translated to other forms. A .PDF
is more or less a bitmap picture of what used to be text and is usually
unreadable -- Hell, last week at work I got an email with a .PDF
attachment that included the icon where the document said "examine the
attached bitmap" left over from its Word origin, but for some reason
clicking on that icon in the .PDF doesn't bring up the full picture.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
