Exciting stuff!  I for one would probably be interested in buying a
copy of the book as opposed to printing one, and I agree an ISBN number
and the possibility of printing the book as a textbook seem like good
ideas.  When you say work on index, how much work is needed?  That's
one thing even TeX couldn't automate, and I've never figured out how to
tell when I'm done indexing something.

(Must get computer back on internet...  going insane... Axiom and
Maxima withdrawal... auugh. ;-)
