Looks interesting - though none of the preview pages on the website work, and at least one of the example programs from the downloadable zip won't compile due to missing ogg files.

Is it just a republish?

I believe so.

A rather strange question. If I make a book in Spanish from BlitzMax, do you think I can make some money ?.

@Yue
The right question is: how many 'Spanish' BlitzMax users are around the world?
I know (for example) that if I wrote a book in Italian for BlitzMax probably I will sell 3-4 in total :)

A solution, to test the market, is just to write something short and rapid to read (an introduction, the first chapter and so on), put on some digital library (for free) to have a feedback of the potential numbers.
Surely Spanish language is quite diffuse, so you had a big 'pond' for testing!
