Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Looks great!
It looks like a wonderful book, Tom. You're right that there's often too few books between References/Handbooks/RFCs and "This is how you click a button!". I'm sure it'll help a lot of people.

If I could make one stylistic suggestion: A little bit of whitespace or a tab indent at the start of a paragraph (e.g. the first section of the Primary Master Name Server section on p.118 of the sample) would help the eye. There's good use of whitespace in separating commands or file contents from discussion, etc., but when several paragraphs are together it seems like no whitespace is used.

I'll probably snag a copy in a few days. Best of luck with it!

Cheers,
Scott.
New Re: Looks great!
Thanks.

I've never done this before and I had to do all the layout myself. I used NeoOffice/J which took a little practice dealing with templates and master documents.

The nice thing about Lulu is that I can post a new edition and it's available immediately.

New Thanks for the update. That was fast! One copy purchased.
New The advantages of "print-on-demand"

The disadvantages:
- I had to do all my own editing and layout.
- It took me weeks to figure out how to consistently generate a file that would be press-ready.

On the gripping hand:

I know a lot more about fonts, PostScript and PDF now than I did before.
