Dawn,
I read your cards on your site. Very interesting. I would really like to
read the story about the spys but the link no longer works. Any
suggestions?!

I've never seen MV books in any bookstore. We've been a pretty well-kept
secret.
MV is hard to illustrate with words and/or drawings as itself is DOS-like
and character based. Perhaps that's a stumbling block on create a book
that's easy to read. Most books that I've come across are similar to the
reference manuals with not a whole lot of "this is better than that". It
seems to present everything on a equal basis.
My 1 cent.

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

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?
