Selkies and Kelpies! Nasty pieces of work. :(
I hope the New World ones are a bit more civilised.
The book is nicely presented on amazon. I hope you find a niche.

I think it's more a question of whether the work is in any way related
to POV-Ray, either directly, or indirectly (e.g. by virtue of being
authored by a well-known member of the POV-Ray community).
I personally wouldn't care much about who the messenger is.

Seems to be related pretty directly.

Now that you mention it... I think I still have an image from that
thread in my desktop background slideshow.

Guess so. Need better advertising skillz, just plugged it here, on an
IRC channel, on a MUCK, and to people I know in-person. So about 20
people total. :x

Seen on Amazon.com:
Paperback
$14.95
1 Used from $14.99 7 New from $13.29
Now who would buy a used colouring book? For more than the new price.
Well unless it had been coloured in and signed by Van Gough or another
famous artist.

...and only 4 cents more. So weird.
Though it'd be neat to have a copy of my colouring book coloured in by,
say, Hannah Fraser (probably the most famous of the crop of
'professional mermaids' that exist nowadays).

Reminds me of an anecdote I heard about Pablo Picasso: When he once he
noticed he didn't have enough money with him to pay for a coffee, the
waiter proposed that Picasso should draw some sketch and pay with that
instead. The artist agreed, drew some sketch on a napkin (or whatever
was at hand), and handed it over -- unsigned. When the waiter asked
Picasso to sign his work, the artist replied: "Garcon, I intend to pay
for a coffee, not buy the entire shop."

I had not heard that anecdote. It seems like Picasso knew what he was
doing.
