:) There are many subjects to choose from and many strategies as well. Certainly, it should provide some genuine value that none of the existing books of the same category provide and at a reasonable cost - if I want it to be sold, that is. Initially, I aimed to write one on Maths or Chemistry but then I have seen so many good ones on these subjects that I have dropped the idea altogether. It's going to be on an IT subject area and will be aimed at complete beginners - well, there are many books on the subject but I have my own niche. I'll write it in my free-time so it's going to take some time to write the whole book. I was really scared of TeX but I have only read the first 16 pages of "The TeX Book" and it has become one of my favorites. Dr. Knuth has explained everything in a very easy style and every layman can read this book. I recommend it to everybody. I have used LyX/Latex but would rather go for TeX - it's really easy - at least, that's what I feel after reading Dr. Knuth's book a bit. -- Thanks & regards, Asif
