Hi Gabe, Some quick thoughts:
The Internet has dramatically reduced the need for printed materials, especially on fast-changing technical subjects. Even PC Magazine is a fraction of its former size. In the late '80s - early '90's (what I'd consider the heyday of Pick / MV so far), there were several books in print. Someone posted this link to Jonathan Sisk's Pick Publications Database not long ago: www.jes.com/picklist.html Many Pick / MV database installations are a "behind the scenes" part of software packages, so end-users might not feel the need for reference books. Hopefully others can comment on the state of the MV market. Regards, Tom >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/10/07 11:30 AM >>> Can I ask a silly question--why are there no MV books in bookstores in print? Anyone want to write one? ;-) Is the MV market expanding, shrinking, or staying stagnant? Does IBM plan to really start promoting U2 or is it just something they acquired to get a few large customers? Anybody?
