Actually, this is a good question I have been running around in my
mind. 

I am definitely going to treat the "Using" and "Porting" [now "GCC
Internals"] books as separate books with separate ISBNs.  I will
definitely print the "Using" title first, as an immediate replacement
for the "Using & Porting GCC" ISBN going out of print.

I have not yet decided whether or not to print the "GCC Internals"
title.  What do people think?  Would it sell?  At $45.00us?  at
$35.00us?  How much interest would there be in this volume as it's own
printed book?  Does it fill a real niche?

Comments large & small welcome.
