I also work part-time at a Judaica and Book store in Seattle, and three years ago I told the owner about Uncle Eli's Special-for-Kids Most Fun Ever Under-the-Table Passover Haggadah, which Prof. Eliezer Segal of the Religion Dept of University of Calgary wrote a number of years ago for his children. I originally downloaded it off the web at http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/Uncle_Eli/Eli.html and eventually bought a copy as it was too much fun not to have my own bound copy of. (If you have not read it, my favorites are the 4 Questions and the 4 Children--check them out!)
I had read that he was also writing something similar for the high holidays so I wrote him last night and asked about it. (I later found out that a few copies were printed.) I got a response this morning from the author which follows, basically stating that his publisher No Starch Press lost interest in it. Therefore, I am writing you all to see if you know of any publisher who might want to print the book. It can be viewed at http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/EliMahzor/EliMahzorTitle.html If any of you know of anyone that might be interested, please do write him directly.

I have made some unsystematic attempts to look into other publishers (I have another day job...), but have not had any nibbles.
