Sure, but it's a matter of math. I know how many free hours I have in a week, and how many hours it takes to draw even a little picture like that, and on average every small image I do for the rulebook delays production by a week. Four images delays it a month, a couple dozen delay it a year. Right now my spare hours are going to polishing the text instead, so for the artwork I'm look for alternate solutions.
As for releasing it a bit at a time... I'm just greedy for feedback. The changes get more provocative as the book goes on, so I know that once I release the later chapters, 100% of the feedback will be about those and I'll get nothing useful about the early stuff.
The book 2 rules were used to calculate the book 1 stats, just like I did with the stats in BW2001, so unless I messed up the math somewhere they should be 100% compatible.
