If I did, I'd have to call it Where the Hell did I put the [Insert Tool]?! and its sequel, The Tiny Screw Fell into that Crack in the Garage Floor.

Here is one for fun, DVD cover but should easily make a laughable read, if converted to a book. For the comedy section of the Library.
Really, the tough thing about books is collecting all the proper info and having the proper audience. If you did publish a book about this particular subject, you might sell about 100-150 maybe, just to all the active users here. You really want to make something for the masses. Sell thousands to make it worth your time and effort.
Similar to the reason why big companies don't reproduce old parts in small numbers.
Its much easier for you to collect the info here in using the search function and make a cheat sheet of bookmarks for yourself and collect all the great pics that are posted. Also if you buy something material on your particular bike you can always scan and share here.

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
It is 2019 , maybe a video would be more up to date ?
But if I did write a book , the title would be (Too where the ball bearing Rolls )

OK, I'll admit, I laughed out loud at this one.
100bikes
Wore out three sets of tires already!
My collection has crested 1000 titles of bicycle related books.
Not many " Best bike ride in..." either!
There are any number with history and evolution of type set ups.
Most are out of print, while some have been reprinted.
The design books - Sharps Treatise on Bicycles and Tricycles(reprinted at least 3 times)
and The Bicycle Data Book are key.
Books mentioned above are also very desirable.
Beyond that, there are titles on everything related are out there. Finding a hole -
depends on what you like.
As to what I would like to know more about- is the old bicycle industry.
The evolution, and ultimate demise of many of the various companies we all collect.
There were any number of small wholesale vendors around the country.
They had many brands of bicycles they distributed, and many distributed
Schwinn branded stuff as well.
The industry of the 1960's still has a lot of the players hanging in retirement.
Some still involved (Jay Townley for example). A whole bunch of information
in their heads.
I am certain there are more possibilities for bicycle books out there.
