This, in my not-humble-at-all opinion, is the best hope for an OM System book 
from the contributors on this List.  I just finished reading Joe Gwinn's 
awesome contribution re: pixel size and dynamic range.  I've seen similar 
contributions apropos the OM System over the last five years from a wide 
variety of Elder Ones here.  If they were ever all gathered in one place, the 
resulting book would be monumental.

Hell, I'd pay real money for a book like that.

Then the Assembled Wise Ones could also do the definitive book on the digital 
contributions Olympus is making.  Someone's gotta do it sooner or later.
