Sounds like you need to use a query letter, synopsis, and then the book or sample chapters. Move the stuff you think you need to describe but is too voluminous for a query letter into the synopsis, which can be multiple pages (Pamela has been told it needs to be enough pages to rattle together convincingly at the editorial meeting). Then use the proper, classic, query lettter which says "Here is my book. Please buy it." Well, okay, list professional sales if they won't know about them, might be worth mentioning a major writing workshop if you've attended one.
