[dennisjperkins at comcast.net]

6.8 is the latest stable version. I don't know if anyone has bothered to make a book.

Subject: [clue] free e-book: Linux From Scratch 

A pointer to this free downloadable e-book came to me via one of my 
Linux groups on LinkedIn: 

http://bit.ly/nXj2Vr 
( 
http://www.itpublications.info/2011/09/linux-from-scratch-free-ebook.html ) 

To download it, you'll end up "registering" with IT Publications, for 
whatever that's worth (including headaches), but the e-book is, IMHO, 
worth it: 318 pages of HowTo on building your own Linux install from 
scratch, and why you might consider doing so. I'm guessing that, even 
if I don't decide to build a Linux from scratch, a read-through of this 
material will teach and illuminate much. 

This e-book is "Linux From Scratch", Version 6.6, created by Gerard 
Beekmans, edited by Matthew Burgess and Bruce Dubbs, (c) 1999-2010, 
licensed under a Creative Commons License. 

Major sections include: Prefatory material (why, audiences, etc.); I. 
Introduction (how to, what's new, changelog, resources); II. Preparing 
for the Build (partitioning, packages, dependencies, creating a 
temporary system); III. Building the LFS System (extensive... the core 
of the work); IV. Appendices (acronyms & terms, dependencies, boot & 
config scripts, Udev config rules, LFS licenses). 

Worth a look... 
best regards,
