My upcoming book: Flashaholic, Installing Custom Firmware for Dummies

So, I'm writing a book about flashing ROM's and kernels's and modem's, ect. I am a flashaholic and must have the latest firmware on all my devices at all times. Anytime a new custom ROM is released that looks interesting I test it out by flashing it through a custom recovery which in Android are mainly Clockworkmod recovery and Team Win Recovery Project which I also go into full detail about in my book. Different modems to get better signal strength for things such as WiFi and data and different kernels for CPU performance or undervolting to save battery life are all things I write about in this upcoming book. I am just interested to see how many if ANYONE is interested in reading such a book. Samsung uses a different partitioning system than most other manufacturer's and in order to update your firmware you normally must use either Odin or mobile Odin or even Heimdall which is another software developed for installing custom firmware on Samsung devices. The reasons for installing a custom firmware vary greatly from improving performance to the general aesthetics of the device and it's look and feel inside the operating system. I touch on many of these topics and more while also providing links and descriptions of one click install tools and methods along with root tool kits for various devices like Wugfresh's Nexus root toolkit which I currently use for all my custom firmware flashing needs on the Nexus 7 and Nexus 4. Leave a comment if anyone is interested in reading such a book and maybe gaining some knowledge on how to become a flashaholic yourself.
