If you are serious about that, please contact O'Reilly & Associates. 
They have allowed people to publish open source books in the past. If 
you do not get very far with them, let me know and I may be able to help 
you get in contact with someone who will hear you out, as I work with 
someone who is intimately familiar with many ORA staffers. It is a local 
company (US/Global headquarters are in Sebastopol, California, about 
five miles from here). Please feel free to e-mail me privately.
