well, I have found Yasin's tutorial <http://www.yasinuludag.com/blog/?p=98>on Model View programming a lot better than the ones refer in Mark Summerfield's book. Also the book is older edition , and many new things were introduced later like QFileSystemModel etc...
Last time I talked to Mark a month back, he had no plans for a new edition. however it could have been nice if he or someone contribute in going over different areas giving focus to PySide.
