Ah, um, I haven't bought the book.  But, I would love to suggest ideas.

I don't know if this book remains targetted at beginner, intermediate, or
advanced level.  Nevertheless, you might add two sections.

You probably have an interrupts section, I suggest making it as strong as
possible.  When I inherit new clients to do code for, half of the time the
previous project engineer wrote some abominable code that frequently has no
use of interrupts.  Professional level code cannot be written without
effective use of interrupts.

The second idea is for a 'Foobydust' section.  Of course, ask Bob Pease for
the use of the word.  In this section, you might do fast intros to the
config line format, the basic syntax of a macro, the subtle aspects of
emulating, and debugging techniques.  Certainly, this section could go to
unlimmitted size, but simply prune it to just the major ideas.

Best of luck with the new volumes.
