Could be better if the color looks 'younger'.

And definitely need to look more attractive. I think that it looks good. But to stand out among other books, it needs to do better than that.

ROTFL! Usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks? The book isn't even printed yet!

It's currently being copy-edited.

Okay, some comments via e-mail :-

Adrian,

I liked it, very beautiful indeed!

Good luck!

Please let me know as soon as it is released and available at amazon.com, so I can recommend it to my visitors.

Personally I think the word "BIOS" should be in red. Green may be esthetically pleasing, but who needs esthetically pleasing! It needs to jump off the shelf!!! People need to see it clear across the store!

Oh yeah, before I forget, my publisher says that the book size has not been finalized.

The following trim sizes (in inches) are being considered :-

5.5 x 8.5
6 x 9
7 x 9.25

The final choice will depend on the page count of each trim size. But please do let us know if you have a particular preference for a trim size.

I think it needs to pimp the site more.. then more visitors would come to visit the site.. no?

<--- how can they miss this?

Also, could they come up with an alternative design? Using ARP's colour scheme and design style? LIke the site? It would be nice to have something that's similar to the site's design...
