Funny you should mention it, that's (part of) the topic of my latest, about designing nonfiction like a problem-solving product (won't plug it here since it's off-topic, but easy enough to find).

Too many authors seem to forget that readers pay for every book twice: once with the cover price and then again with their time.

(And for most business/tech books, the second price is orders of magnitude more costly than the first.)

Anyway, happy it has proven useful and many thanks for the support.

Couldn't agree more.

The idea is great. Lean books should be a thing.
