Yes, the book, Second Life for Dummies will be out this Fall. LOL - I think this is a great idea! It is being co-authored by Sarah Robbins from Ball State University (http://www.secondlife.intellagirl.com/) and her fiance, Mark Bell also from Ball State University (http://www.storygeek.com/). The book is being published by John Wiley & Sons. Both, Sarah and Mark are active members in SL in the educational arena. This book should be a staple of the Survival Guide for all new teachers K-12 and college level teaching in SL.
More information on this book may be obtained at: http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/2105/an-avatar-at-ball-state-explains-second-life-to-dummies
or go to Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Second-Life-Dummies-Sarah-Robbins/dp/0470180250/ref=sr_1_2/104-2075329-9519150?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181143309&sr=8-2
