If you want to see almost all the Waite Group titles check out
www.mitchwaite.com and click on the Books icon. There are tons of Bibles
listed.

Your definition of what a Bible is in the technical sense is wrong. Bibles
are compendiums of everything, they satisfy all level of readers, from
beginners to advanced users. Spend some time at the computer book section of
Borders and you'll see my point. I like the Bible title, it seems to sum up
our outline better than anything I have thought of so far. And I have not
heard one good reason so far not to use it. But I am always open to new
title ideas so a contest would be fun.
