I completely agree. If the aim is to help Tapestry then why not do as described below by Alessi?
Equally useful, in my opinion, would be to contribute "advanced topic" pages to Tapestry's web documentation. You would reach a much bigger audience. You could reach them sooner, because the contributions can be incremental. You could be responsive and up-to-date, because it's a cinch to modify. Besides, you know there's no money in technical books these days, yeah? Nonetheless, Thiago, I applaud your enthusiasm and your massive ongoing contribution to Tapestry.
