I also want to grab the new 2+2 heads-up NL book; I would expect that to be heavily theory-based. If I still feel like I have something to offer at that point, I'll start cobbling together an outline.
I wrote a bunch of stuff on each of the ebooks (fees, bobbos, ssnlhe, slowhabbis, balugas) but figured this isnt a review thread. So will just offer the comment at the end:
All of them offered real, major advantages but in different ways due to their different writing approaches. I wonder if it would be best if you
don't read any other books before you write yours - that way there will be a lot of new ideas that differ from in the other books, but if you read the other books you might just assume they are identical, when in fact there are nuances or different levels of understandings that you have, or you might conceptualize ideas in a different way that helps people understand things more deeply.
I suspect reading other peoples books before finishing at least your first draft, will hinder your unique perspective on what you write about.
