I have worked on the book for the last 2 years but I just dont know where to start and I am afraid of dealing with companies who may take my book and my rights. Getting a ISBN (?) and copywritting is scary.

Should I usse podcasts to explain the how, why and all of my system, then point them to where to buy the book? Or should I give the how to away, and therefore get a larger audience, and ask them to get the book as a su[pplement? Also, the podcasters seem to use a bookpublisher called lulu.com I will reserve my comments, till I hear yours, what do you think about lulu.com and please make your comments "postable" so I can post them in a podcasting area.

You always have such good advise every month. I had to write in about Matt, we used him for our logo design. Not only does he have many great ideas, but his ideas are original. Matt is hard working, fast, reliable and just fabulous to work with. He's communicates well, speaks clearly and answered all of our questions. We couldnt have asked for more! You can be sure when its time for our web development, he'll be the ONLY one we call. Thanks again for the great info this month! Ron, what a great article!
