Default I'm trying to write a book...

I'm trying to put together a book on middle management using my own experience and interviews with others. it's sort of a collection of case studies, but i would like to present it in a humorous light. i've put the first segment here:

can you guys take a look and let me know if it's interesting enough for you to read on?

Its interesting and humourous - though can this concept transalte into a book?

I would definitely read on, because it was well written, easy to read etc. But I guess I cannot visualise this as a whole book - unless there is a lot more to it than that (I am sure there is).

Another question - I am not trying to demotivate you, just being devil's advocate - why would someone want to publish or read your book? Are you very qualified, with lots of letters after you name, or have you done some thesis' that have been published in this field?

Opinion is one thing, but the opinion of a very learned person is something else entirely.

I hope that you have the letters to support your book and wish you the best of luck. This is a very competitive area - management books - and one which stands out and looks at this differently should be refreshing!
