Sorry for the delay in reply; been monstrously busy with a product rollout.

I'm not sure where to go next. I think Garrett's idea has some merit, but there are copyright issues to re-use another book's structure.

...and who would publish it?

You could start from scratch, or there are some good books from the mid-90's that could be reworked with VFP9 era examples (should author and publisher permissions be obtainable).
