Somehow, a dump of man pages wouldn't seem quite as sexy as a full-blown
book with a nice, glossy cover, a full-blown tutorial, and lots of practical
information.

I just read on the O'Reilly web site that while they might do a BSD book,
it wouldn't likely be strictly a NetBSD *or* FreeBSD book. This would still
be a great book to have, but it wouldn't suit our marketing needs, in my
humble opinion.
