I have very serious reservations about using the BG 
position to enable this plan.  At the very least, it
seems like copyright infringement, because I would
eventually have to paraphrase the whole book to you.
As I see it, the BG position has existed to answer
questions like "In light of what it says in Section
5.5 of TKD, when exactly would you use {petaQ} as
opposed to {Hu'tegh}?".  Asking the list essentially
to provide you with the contents of Section 5.5
because
you believe you either can't, don't want to or don't
need to buy the book seems like an abuse of the
system.

BTW, my own kids are into all sorts of things I either
have no interest in (eg chain mail) or no
understanding
of.  It's no problem. I buy them the books they ask
for
at Christmas and birthdays whether it's something I
would read or not.  I think you are not giving
parentdom
enough credit.
