I along with several current and former CMU folks have talked numerous
times about writing a Cyrus book (our preference would be to do it with
O'Reilly), but we've never gotten beyond the "it would be a good idea
stage).
Perhaps if we get a "Cyrus Center" up and running with proper funding,
we'd be able to consider authoring a book more seriously.
