I believe ASIS would be happy to publish such a book.
In addition, we have been looking at getting regular contributions on IA
for JASIS, our scholarly journal. On the journal, we have been discussing
a special issue (or perspectives) followed by regular contributions.
I would be happy to talk with anyone interested in either the book or JASIS
efforts.
