That way the pictures and examples cost you nothing to distribute, people can have a nice handy dead-tree copy, and other people can see the examples and go, "I want to learn how to do that..." and thus increase interest in the book. --- Jon Harrop wrote: > I think there is ample market for a games programming > OCaml book but it would be difficult to sell it at a > low enough price (again, I think it would really > benefit from being full color).
