i just read half the first chapter in the online PDF.  it reads well
and looks like it would be a very good resource.  i'll have to pick up
a copy.  it's great to see books like this appearing.
congrats to Jarod et al for getting published.  and congrats to Isaac
and the rest of the Myth developers for an awesome product that's
worthy of a 'for-pay' dead tree manual.  ;)
