Bill,
There are companies that work to improve plant efficiency and reliability for their customers, that is actually what I do for our customers (along with some other stuff).

As for the TOC, that is something they will require along with a preface. I asked if the TOC could change as I wrote and they told me that it would not be a problem provided it didn't stray too far from the original outline.

We are going to be driving to Iowa - this will be a great time for Lisa to jot down my musings. We have done that before and it actually worked out pretty good. Gives her an idea of what I'm trying to do and gives me the chance to do two things at once.

As far as staying power on the shelves and revenue draw - I think these topics are pretty sound and hit a wide enough audience. Plus compensation is related to length.

I know if I tell my wife that she will just say "I told you length is important!"
