If you do some research on Amazon you'll find that I was the first publisher
to use the word Bible in a computer book. Its almost synonymous with Waite
Group. I also pioneered the How To line, as well as Primers, Papers, Tricks
of the ___ Masters, ____ Creations, Playhouses, SuperBibles, ____ Lab,
Construction Kit, Interactive Courses.

I still like Bible. But I would be open to something different and more
reverent like POV Ray: From Hell and Back, or maybe POV Ray New Testament :)
