As some of you may have heard, some of the guys from FTA have written a french 
technical book on the GS explaining how to do *EVERYTHING* on the machine in 
low-level form.  The book is called 'Le IIgs epluche', or, loosely translated, 
'The Apple IIgs revealed'.

The book is definitely directed towards the *VERY* technical programmers and is
very informative how to do pretty much everything (including drive controls) on
the GS without the 'aid' of the toolbox.

I have a copy of the book in french as well as the rights to the US market for 
this book.  I'm still working on the translation and I am looking for any 
interested publisher for the book.  I  have tried the classic publishers, like 
Addison Wesley, but the only response I have received is that they no longer 
consider the Apple IIgs publsihing market a viable market (!).  

Well, they may think so, but I believe that a lot of people can benefit from 
this book, no matter what apple's plans for the Apple IIgs line are.  If I 
should fail to find any publisher for the book, I intend to 'home publsih' it 
and sell and print it on an 'on-demand' basis.

My question is mainly how many of you would be interested in this publication 
and/or do you have any recommedations for an intersted publisher and how to 
contact them.  

Please E-mail your replies to me and I will summarize.

Thanks,

Harry K. Zink
