Welcome Bodo :)

it works pretty well if you choose oreily as your publisher.
The svn book is available under an open license from
http://svnbook.org./

As is the latest book from Karl Fogel: "Producing Open Source Software".
The book is available from http://www.producingoss.com/.

both are published by oreilly.
