I will improve the beginning of the book with your ideas. (I don't have free time yet; maybe by the end of next week.) I would also like to thank you if you would please e-mail me your full name at acehr...@yahoo.com.
I think it would be even better if you add a newbie section (or improve the existing ones as you graciously have been doing) on the wiki site, or some other site. I would be happy to link to that section from the book. (I have a feeling Paul D. Anderson meant that you wrote a separate document anyway.)
