Unfortunately, economics seems to be dictating otherwise to them for right or wrong. The only productive suggestion that has been made to me is to put up a parallel site for the book that includes LD. Michael Hausenblas has offered the domain linkeddatadeveloper.com <http://linkeddatadeveloper.com>, which was his original site for the book but has fallen into disuse. Of course, I would need to be willing to pay for the site and take the time to operate it. How about this? http://linked.data.fm/book.html It's also LDP compliant ;)
Where is the Linked Data ? At the very least, make it user agent discoverable. For instance, if the user agent only groks HTML and Web Linking patterns, place a reference in <link/> within <head/> to an actual RDF document (e.g., one bearing Turtle content that describes the Book). For HTTP oriented user agents, you can repeat the pattern via "Link:" response headers.
Linked Data should be discoverable via Follow-Your-Nose link exploration patterns :-)
Would the community find that a useful thing to do? I am willing
to go to the effort if I receive a good number of positive responses.

Dave
