Sorry for confusion. the Virtual Lego(r) book (which has a separate
announcemenet, it's currently the top story on LUGNET(tm) is by No Starch
Press(tm).
the Power Tools book is by Syngress(tm).
Hope that helps.
still owe a corrected version of the transcript. Hopefully will have time to
do it on the plane today. (talking with other festers takes precedence)

Note that the 25% off on the books was by both publishers and as far as I
can tell (I was at BW03). The 25% off was for books SOLD during the event
only. No Starch was taking pre-order for the LDraw Book (with FREE
shipping) and Syngress had Kevin's book for 25% off (no shipping since you
got the book).
I do believe that Kevin even sign some for those who bought and asked.

| Ahui,
Yup. I signed books. It was kinda neat. I also made a lot of new friends,
and got a whole new list of "improvements" to make to LPub and LSynth.
BricksWest was great! I now have faces for the names I know so well from
lugnet.
Kevin
