All I can tell from the FAQ is that there was a good amount of progress on the books. That post was in 2003, 5 years later have they been released yet?
What ever happened to the definitive HST books?

No, that is not strange as a lot has been said about the development of the book. It takes a lot of time and effort to put a book together.

I want to finish the book as much as some of you wish to read it. I have been forced to work on other things to pay the bills for the last few years.
In the meantime, I have done my best to ensure that anyone who wants to learn about HST can learn all they want and more from this website.
Seriously, I want it finished as much as any of you...

Just thought I would bump this thread to see if there is any new info on the book. Although there is a ton of information here it would surely be nice to add the HST book to my small but growing library.
I was also hoping to pick up a couple of copies for Christmas gifts. Obviously that won't happen this year but I'm still hopeful for next year.

Just a thought. You mentioned "having to pay bills", and had to put aside the book-writing venture. Understandable Sir!
Here's an idea, good or bad. A website that I use for aviation once had a "drive" via the website that folks could donate to support. Again, it was a donation and voluntary, and NOT required. However, I certainly do value the effort you've put forth for the free stuff!
If you are so inclined, you could setup a paypal account for that and "us dudes" could help support your endeavers. Like I said. Just an idea. And ideas breed ideas.
Good luck with the books. I for one will buy one when they are done - if you are selling them.

Maybe a preview eBook for $5 would be a good idea. That's how David Meerman Scott did it for his last marketing book (WAY different market, but you can steal ideas): http://www.davidmeermanscott.com/products_ebooks.htm
After he releases an eBook, he gets tons of feedback from his loyal users (which Bryan also has), and it develops into a real book after a few back-and-forths. And now I'm sitting here looking at a best-selling Marketing and PR book which he's making plenty of money from.
