I will improve the beginning of the book with your ideas. (I don't have 
free time yet; maybe by the end of next week.) I would also like to 
thank you if you would please e-mail me your full name at 
acehreli at yahoo.com.

I think it would be even better if you add a newbie section (or improve 
the existing ones as you graciously have been doing) on the wiki site, 
or some other site. I would be happy to link to that section from the 
book. (I have a feeling Paul D. Anderson meant that you wrote a separate 
document anyway.)

Gladly, as much as I know myself. :)
