Thanks Jon. I took a look at the documentation and it doesn't look too
difficult. But I don't really feel qualified to make some of the
decisions necessary to create the new book. (ie names, locations, etc.)
And I don't really want that churn in this patchset. So we'll leave it
where it is for now.

I have cleaned up some of the RST format for v2 though.
