I wonder about this. Why do we need an API-Book?
AFAIK, the API-Guide from interbase is sufficient so far, perhaps it needs to be
reworked for FB 2.0. Additionally, I think the vast majority of users
of Firebird use
some level of abstraction above the API-level, so they wouldn't be interested in
an API-book at all.
That's just my guess, at least. But perhaps I'm missing some facts or
misunderstood you.

Daniel Albuschat
