An author of a 500 page book has to pick a version or versions and write around those. On this list many/most are not so much concerned with installation problems but keeping up with the changes in the user interface and also new features such as possible embryonic CMYK capabilities. So I would be interested in a book built around some recent version, if not 2.4 then at least 2.3xx. If someone comes up with a book that is smaller, cheaper and more up to date I will buy it. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf
