I could not agree more. Until CF4 I was the only show in town (the other
CF3.x books left much to be desired), with CF4 I had a single competitor but
still sold more books than the prior versions combined. Bottom line, the
more there are, the more buzz, the more publicity for CF, the better CF
does, the better we all do (authors and developers). I have no less than a
dozen C and C++ books, almost that many on Java, a growing .NET library,
dozens of database and SQL books - no one buys just one.
Oh, and while I have not seen your book yet Jeffry, the fact that you list
Hitchhikers on your "Other books" page (oh, and my books too) has convinced
me to get a copy. :-)

I think it is a good sign for the ColdFusion community. Because more
ColdFusion books means that someone somewhere believes there is a market of
CF Developers to sell books to. It is also likely that non-CF developers
will see our books on the bookstore shelves and start to take notice of the
technology.
One could argue that it is bad for authors, because the market is
becoming flooded and there is less of a chance of making the big
money? However, I suspect that there is room for multiple books on CF
books. Who here only owns one book on a single technology?
Did I plug Instant ColdFusion yet? I just got my copy.
