I'm posting this because it's a rare attempt to commercialize short books--books that are even shorter than those typically produced by a week-long book sprint:

I doubt that they can profitably publish such short books, but it's worth watching because it may be an indication of whether short books are popular, useful, and financially viable. The writing/production cycle isn't described.
