Hi Jeremy, I just noticed your name today on the mysql mailing list and recognised your name. I'm a new user of MySQL and saw that you will soon have a new book out. I've scanned other books on MySQL but found that they were either somewhat dated or of limited value. So, I look forward to seeing your new book when it comes into print!
