I love chess studies/puzzle/problems books and have quite a few of them.
Have you considered publishing the ones you've got? I haven't looked into it, but I believe self-publishing via amazon (and probably others) is quite achievable. Not sure what the rights-situation is in your case of course, but if it could be done, I'd order a copy for sure
