What you really want to focus on is your audience.. while your financial advice that you've given here is sound.. walk into any bookstore.. there are 100's of books offereing the same type of advice... what sets you apart? Who do you want this book to be for?

While you are in the bookstore, check out the existing publishers of those books and send a copy of your idea to them...

Another option is to use one of the bazillion vanity or self publishers out there... where you can send in your work - it will be typeset and printed and bound for you... most of them will give you an ISBN number (so it's more professional than using Kinkos - it's not cheap doing it that way but it gets your book out there)
