Chris, your book title could be: "Edit & Produce Videos for FREE!" with the subtitle; "Everything You Need to Know about Free & Trial Production Software, and All You Have to Do is Buy this BOOK!"
There are a LOT of self-publishing and print-to-order web sites, even Amazon (I think) is in the act, where you write your book, format it, then submit, advertise/market, and people go to these sites, purchase a book that is produced "on demand" and you get some income from it.
Actually, you have a successful idea here (probably obvious to you and the others who have read and responded here) and you should market it. You don't have to SCREW anybody on pricing, just publish and sell your research and efforts here for some sensible amount, and pick up a little income to pursue your video dreams. Nothing wrong with that, you did the work dude.
A late, great advertising pro once said: "Never give away something you can sell!" I agree with that in principle, and I, not deceased, or GREAT, say: "If You Market, You Will Make It!" That, by the way, is the marketing mantra at my blog side on diversified video production, marketing and making money. The site URL is posted enough places around here, I will not hijack your thread.
Also, and you know this, your compilation of sites, resources, information, comments and reviews would make such a book an excellent renewable product due to the constant updates and revised editions. You have the potential for a perpetual non-fiction BEST SELLER! I am as serious as a heart attack Chris.
