I know about Naked Conversations but I visited the site once and that was it. I think a book blog after the book is published would be helpful. I think the Freakonomics guys did it that way. There's a science fiction writer called John Scalzi ( http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/ ) who wrote about his upcoming book on his blog. He's using some of his blog posts in a new non-fiction book and he solicited reader feedback on what to include, etc. You might want to check out his blog. I think Scott Berkun also blogged about his book but I am not sure whether it was before or after.
