I am also planning to write a book about Gideros / Lua development but for Spanish speakers, because my English is good but not enough to write a fully book without mistakes.

It's doesn't encompass so important subjects as improving application performance: how to find memory leaks? How to organize your code in right way to avoid memory leaks?. How to debug application, create own plugins, work with network, meshes etc.
Also I found at least one mistake (or may be I'm wrong?). On page 16 method setAnchorPoint is mentioned, but as far as I know this method is not a part Gideros API, it's a part of a GiderosCodingEasy library (at least Gideros 2013.09.1 doesn't have this method).
But I continue reading and hope to find somthing new and interesting for me.
There are some other points from project settings management points or guidelines that you might find interesting, but again that all depends on your experience.
About setAnchorPoint, then it exists on Bitmaps even in official Gideros release

A book for beginners then.

In a way finding typos in the code is a good thing, as it made you look for a fix on your own, eg a dot not a semicolon. its like when your taught a language and they give you the entire program and say ok find whats wrong, its a good way to learn. so win-win.
Maybe the next could add more for advanced users.... then we would have to buy that version too

What the publisher should do is to contact people like you, ask you the right questions to understand what kind of book would be really helpful to you, keep you engaged (and thank you with some extras), and have a database of content requests to make products that help people achieve whatever they want to achieve.
