well,
it sounds also very strange to me a complete lack of information about how to find/do/implement countermeasures..there are several solution not involving out-of-the-shelf readymande protections, like asprotect and friends: most of the times it enough to pay attention to how you write your code to avoid common also no simple cracks attacks.
At least a checklist for quality assurance for developers about code security is imho a must in a book on reversing..but it's up to you of course.
