Friendly advice: Write a blog instead of, or at least before writing a book
Sure there are disadvantages... which are IMHO minor/unrealistic:
eg YOur intended audience has no access to internet. About as unrealistic as
them not having access to electricity

Advantages
- Very low bar on entry
- Much finer granularity — one post vs one book
- Much tighter write→feedback→correct cycle: Minor corrections can be just 
edited in/out. Major additions get a new post
- More current medium “Medium is the message (or massage)!”
- Saves trees

[Personal note: I started blogging on programming related topics a few years ago:
http://blog.languager.org/
Which crossed 50K hits a few months ago.
More gratifying, Ive received comments and thanks from people like Doug 
McIllroy, co-creator of Unix]
