Here's a query to everyone on the list.

I work for a book packager that does books for Peachpit Press, a "small 
press" in Berkeley, California, that nonetheless consistently has books 
in the top ten sellers categories for Mac and DTP books, and which is 
evolving into larger areas of computing and information.

We've been watching the whole Internet book explosion (there are 60 out 
now, I believe) and trying to find subjects of interest. This list has 
been very interesting, because it shows a real explosion of the use of 
Mosaic and WWW as a front end to information of all kinds, but especially 
periodicals. It seems like the LaserWriter and PageMaker of the 
information superhighway.

Is the field changing to fast to cover Mosaic in a book? Or would a book 
that helps people use it effectively and that covers the kind of 
information (without being a compendium, of which there are already many) 
accessible through Mosaic be of use to you and your subscribers?
