Publishing an HTML5 Book

I've been thinking about publishing an HTML 5 book for quite some time now and I thought I'd ask you guys for your opinions.

What are your opinions on publishing an HTML 5 book? Would you buy it? Why/why not?

HTML5 is pretty premature right now and there's no real interest in it yet. It also depends on what you will focus in your book - will it be a complete HTML reference or just a book about new features of HTML5. I think a book highlighting the new features of HTML5 might be something people will be interested in.

I probably wouldn't buy a book - I use W3Schools Online Web Tutorials for my HTML questions.

However, if you believe you have a great idea, choose a publisher that would be a good fit for an HTML5 book and send them a query. You can probably find the type of information they want in a query from their site. Tell them what you want to do and why you think it's important.

Another opportunity is magazines. You could do as Ahmad suggested and describe the new features of HTML5.

You could create a PDF to share your HTML5 ideas, and sell it online.

Good luck!
