Hello, I just want to say thanks to all of you supporting my Boost book.

From: James Hughes [mailto:JHughes@Linx.co.uk] Subject: RE: [Boost-users] Björn Karlsson's Boost Book

I agree. I have the book and it has been very useful (although I have not used Boost in anger just yet as project is only just starting). He really needs to do another book that covers the rest of the library!

James, Writing a book is a huge undertaking, and it's readers' testimonies of usefulness that make it worthwhile. Thanks. Regarding another Boost book, I do have a book on the STL algorithms to write first. After that, who knows...

Absolutely, actually it's a very good book IMO (and not just because I proofread some of the chapters!).

John, I believe that the fantastic help I received from you and other brilliant Boosters was key in striking the balance between technical detail and user-level topics. So, your proofreading definitely made the book much better. Cheers, Bjorn
