.....well certainly I would buy one. 
there are good precedents for selling photocopied books like this, 
the Barry Klein book and his data colection are two, and Midwest Analog
Products do another two. another way to make a few dollars is to sell the
design rewritten as an article to an electronics hobby mag....some of
these are cool, eg NUTS&VOLTS publish the drum synth designs of Midwest,
and don't seem to mind that they are collected and published. 

One goodthing abt the net is people can find abt stuff like this & buy
it...no bookshop would want it.
As a marketing ploy anyone doing this would want to hook into the 'science fair'
scene in the states...people are desparate for anything in the way of kits,so
it might be possible to connect with an educational distributor.

there isn't big bucks in this, but if we wanted big bucks we wouldnt be here.

BTW anyone going self publishing in this field contact me for advice if you
want.
