I am currently working on an iBook Textbook that catalogues all the G.I. Joe "modern era/25th style" figures (much like the Bellomo book) using personal collection pics and pics from various sites (like our beloved Hisstank, YoJoe.com, Generals Joes.com, etc. - all credited for). This is still a work in progress and I am updating it on a daily basis.
I have been wanting to create a book that could serve as a checklist and as a multimedia guide to the modern era of Joe for some time now. It has definitely been a labor of love and I can't wait to share it with my fellow Joe bros. I am currently using iBooks Author for the Mac. This allows each page to show photo slideshows, interactive photos (like blueprints), video (I have short 5-10 second clips from the Sunbow series and Resolute that show the character), and weblinks. The iBook can only be viewed on an iPad. I am thinking of making this book available for FREE to everyone at this years's G.I. Joe Con in NOLA, which I will be attending (my second Joe Con besides Dallas). I am thinking of setting up shop in the lobby or other places with my MacBook and downloading it for anyone who wants it. Below is a draft screen shot of one of the figure pages for the A.V.A.C. Once I finalize it, I will publish and make available to other Tankers. Let me know your thoughts about this - feedback and ideas are highly appreciated!

Yeah, seconded. Fc's blueprints, maybe even some package/box art if available. How far will you go --- from 25th to 30th? Will accessories be shown as well?

Image for the AVAC should be up.
For each character, I have tried to include the following: -large picture of posed figure with gear on stand -photo slideshows that include pics of 0-ring figure (if done), character filecard, comic pic (if done), carded and any other high res pics I can nab off the net -blueprint style pic with description of vehicle (if figure is a driver or some sort) -listing of variants -short video clip from cartoon (Sunbow, Resolute, Renegades) -short clip from ROC movie (still debating on doing these...LOL)

I want it to be strictly modern era - 2007 up until the 1st wave of Retaliation. I would include pics of the O-ring figures the modern ones are based on, for nostalgia sake and to show just how far Joes have come in over 30 years.
