Ask HN: Would self-taught programmers be interested in such a book?

I want to write a book on operating systems that actually lets the reader build one. It's going to cover stuff like C, x86 assembly, computer architecture, and operating system architecture (basic stuff like task switching, file systems, virtual memory etc). It's also going to provide exercises that lets the reader fill in gaps to make sure they comprehended the material instead of just copying and pasting code. The targeted audiences are mainly self taught programmers and motivated cs students who want to learn more than what their typical operating system courses has to offer. Would people be interested in working through such book?
