I also agree with this. The other day I was just searching for Context books
on Amazon and all over the web. I have bought 5 LaTeX books a few years ago
and I was expecting to find some Context books. Also, some of the Context
manuals are still unfinished. Specially the ones about style and layout. I
liked those manuals very much, but too bad they are incomplete. I was
looking for some book about that.
