The book itself is nicely done. But I note from the ISBN that it is taken from a block of 10, which is extraordinary for a publisher. I have a block of 1,000 and haven't published my first book yet. Fles books was incorporated in September 2008 and the Scribus Manual is probably their first publication. I have the feeling that there are publishers on the list who could have handled the distribution more expeditiously. -- John Culleton Check out: http//wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http//wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
