I just noticed that the ImageMagick book appears in Google book search. I’m pleased.

Color ebook!
By far the most consistent criticism of The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick has been that the sample images need to be in color. I would have to agree with this point, which is why I am delighted that Apress took the time to go back around the production process and produce a version of the…
Book reviews
I’m always a little hesitant when I see reviews of the book. It’s irrational, but I guess it’s a little bit like being worried that people are going to tell you that your kid isn’t the smartest in the class, or is ugly. That’s why I sat on the review from Linux Format May 2006…
