- I will not get the new Petzold anymore. What for when you have the 3.0
- version? Too much money for too little new information. I preferred
- spending my money on either advanced books or at least on the docs of Win 3.1

- That sounds like a very interesting idea. I kind of do that already, I guess
- (see above). I just never thought abouth confronting the publishers with the
- reason why. Is some publisher listening here? If you guys want owners of
- the old books to buy the new ones, think about offering those books at prices
- that reflect the level of information counting from the old one, not from
- zero.
- Just following up on D.F.'s thoughts...
