My problem with adopting Z shell is a lack of off-line (dead tree)
documentation. I have nagged Stephan Chazelas for years to write
a Z Shell book, but so far he has resisted my pleas.

I would certainly not be the best person for that.

I disagree. You have great insight into how to use the shell well,
and great clarity of expression. You should write a textbook; there
are very few good ones out there. The problems people post here are
an endless source of examples, problems, and inspiration. They could
serve a book author as well. I bet you could find many willing to
help you with such a project, if time is the issue.
