Book that I'm working on

ok, here's the scoop.

First off, I hope that I'm putting this in the proper section for this. If not then please move this thread.

Here goes (Braces himself)

I've been working on a parody type book. So far it only exists in outline format. The basic premise is this:

Your a tyranical overlord who has recently dealt with a hero infestation. The heros have been dealt with but in the proccess they have trashed your dungeon, set fire to your library and worst of all they've killed your pet dragon!

ok, the dungeon can be rebuilt (that's what minions are for), the library rebuilt (tome of the month club) but where is an evil overlord gonna find a good used dragon?

This book helps to answer this. It's a parody of the ever classic "How to buy a good used car." type of book. It describes what to look for (and out for) in a good used dragon, where to find one, and how to get the most out of your dragon and keep the heros guessing. I'd like input on the feasability of this concept and perhaps some ideas on how to expand this concept. Now I present the outline:
