Book was fine from my end, so same format (even a clueless git like me, got the concepts you were ranting about inside thine book).
oh.. and i'm with you Steven, its Initialisation not Initialization .. damn Z spellers... I did however notice that the book was more of a starting point to what we later now know as Cairngorm (not that it was a bad thing, quite the opposite). I'd only flag that as if the framework changes, it might associate I guess "time" to the book in a more obvious manner... (ie is this text still relevant? hasn't the framework evolved? ). That and if certain folk on this list who are anti-framwork because of some religious reason that most can't understand, it could be a negative... That all being said, i'm more then happy to download your next book from various news groups without paying for it... (just kidding, i did buy your last one).
