The covers look good. ,c)
I think that a good technical writer (with a contract from one of the
large publishers) will have a good chance of selling a number of copies
of a povray book, were it published for example about now ;) (well, or
some time soon anyway...) covering version 3.1, with an appendix for the
megapatch (and probably Moray?).
Maybe even a "POV-Ray For Dummies" (those books - though I have never
bought or read one - sell like mad, and have been published about topics
much more marginal, and with a lesser userbase, than POV-Ray)...
As the saying goes: "In his life, a man should plant a tree, father a
child and write a book."
Isn't anyone of you POV gurus interested? :)
