You'd be wasting your time.  Instead why not suggest that they assign the 
rights to the book to a non-profit organization like, say, POSSI, which
could publish the book, maybe in a looseleaf 8.5" x 11" format and make 
some money, which can then be used for projects which benefit us all?
Wouldn't that have a much higher-percentage chance of success than 
browbeating a reluctant publisher to invest in a product in which he
has so little faith?

Just a thought.
