While I certainly enjoy some level of how to, I really like more of why someone choose to do something or why it worked. That said I think the memoir style book would be timeless while how to's loose their touch with "what's in"
If its a publisher / seller issue then I certainly understand as that is a major factor and maybe a sprinkle of how to would be worth it. Either way write want you want if for no other reason than you want to feel good about what you put out and if its 20 years in the making I certainly would never comprise for anyone or anything that I did not 100% have to. Last but not least its going to be a better book if you write what you want - think about the class and homework you liked vs the ones you hated. The difference in quality of ones work is night and day.
I wish you the best and will certainly buy a copy as soon as it comes out either way...
