One feature that would be nice to go along with your book is a stack of
disks, or whatever, with a machine-readable copy of the book.  When
you're looking for info on a particular item there's nothing like
blasting through the docs on the computer.  And cut-and-paste on the
examples would be pretty nice too.

I think the NeXT machine comes with most or all of it's docs online.
Nice feature.
