Hi Adam,

Thanks for the news on the book, it feels really exciting ! I am really
looking forward to reading it. The dialogical format is something we do too
in our reports (Activity Clinic) and I am very curious to see how it works.

Regarding videos, what we did for our (French) book was to open our own
website with the same domain name as the book (you have to buy a domain
name but that's less than 20 dollars per year) to host videos, as well as
comments and extensions on the book (blog-like). In this way, we keep
control of the videos, which was an important point for us. The URL is in
the book, and so you can update the website when you want and readers find
this additional content easily.

Best,
LK
