The book "Bullet-Proof Abs" is focused on strength, not size, but it
might be useful to you in that it contains a good number of unusual ab
exercises, most of which I've found to be quite effective. The book,
towards the end, discusses alternate set/rep/rest schemes you can use if
you want to build up the size of your abs so that would take care of
you.

Diet...

Abs are some of the last muscles to "show" once you burn off all the fat
that covers them.

Seriously.

Stomach crunches, done everyday to exhaustion.

Yeah, worrying about your abs is nuts at this point; squat, dude.

How do you work on your abs? Do you do them every day?

I like a full body workout 3 times a week, I do weighted abs every
second day, just 2 sets of 15 rather then a gazillion ab crunches with
no weight, which they encourage in aerobics classes. Hold a weight to
your chest and crunch.

And eat a sandwich, too. BMI 18.4 = too damn skinny unless you're an
endurance weenie.

His first post did not state his weight when I answered that. ;-)

Diet...

Abs are some of the last muscles to "show" once you burn off all the
fat
that covers them.

No, Om you were right. 'diet' simply means structured eating. He does need
to diet - a weight gaining diet in fact

True, dat. ;-)
There is such a thing as a fat skinny person...
Take a look at anorexic women sometime.
You can be considered "in weight" for average standards,
but have no muscle!

I think you can even be considered underweight but have so little
muscle, a layer of fat can cover that ab layer so it won't show "6 pack"
detail.

YMMV...

I think the advice to use a proper gainer diet plus the main core moves
for overall body development is good, but that's just my 2 cents.

Deadlift
Benchpress
Squat

Not 2 cents Om. Where do you get 2 cents? It's worth at least a nickel!
