A SIMPLE GUIDE TO "THE THEORY OF POKER"
TOP is the greatest poker book ever written, and a simplified version of it
would be a HUGE seller. There are literally millions of potential readers.
They know they need to understand more theory, but TOP is too difficult for
them. I think it’s the one you should write.
Not only should you simplify the text, you should also add a number of
tests. These tests should measure:
• The understanding of theory
• The ability to apply it to problems
The “Answers” should comment on the significance of various errors and tell
readers what to do to correct them. For example, if someone chooses answer
A, it means he doesn’t fully understand Concept X and should read specific
pages.

I agree with this, but that's why I don't want you to write it. If you only want to sell books and make money (which I would completely understand, and which I would probably want in your position), then this book is almost certainly the best choice. However, I don't think that anyone NEEDS this book. If they do not understand the concepts as presented in the original TOP, then they will never be a world-class (or even extremely good) player.
