Recently it seems as if there have been a number of bloggers getting deals to publish books. Last week
Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett announced the release of their upcoming book. A few weeks ago Andy Beal from Marketing Pilgrim also published
Radically Transparent following the success of his blog.
Personally, I like the idea of bloggers that I recognize publishing books. I just ordered Darren and Chris’s book and I’m confident that it will be worth the price, because I’m already familiar with them and I respect and trust their insight and opinions.
As I was purchasing the book, it made me think about some other bloggers that I would like to write a book on a particular topic. Plenty of bloggers are selling informational products or giving away free ebooks, but there are a few specifics that I would like to see, and here they are:

![Building Findable Websites]()
Often times, the term SEO is mentioned in derogatory terms. With many of the poor techniques people use to garner site traffic, it's not hard to see why. However, Aaron Walter has recently finished a book entitled
Building Findable Websites which casts a wide net on the concept of building a quality web site that goes well beyond just the mere topic of SEO.
The concept of "findable websites" may be familiar if you recently read Aaron's article in A List Apart, entitled
Findability, Orphan of the Web Design Industry. In the article, Mr. Walter talks of three very important things that a site needs to accomplish, helping people:
- find the web sites they seek,
- find the content on the site, and
- rediscover valuable content they've found.
The book covers plenty of topics including SEO, microformats, and integrating third-party APIs like Google Search. The
supporting site also has plenty of supporting content including five additional chapters.
