I guess as long as we are talking about it, this is
another issue. IDL Programming Techniques was spiral
bound because I wanted it to lay flat on my desk. I
used (still use it, to be honest!) that book as a reference
book and I want it laying flat so I can type code out of
it.

I expect this book will be perfect bound. The advantage
of a perfect bound book, from my point of view, is that
it can be distributed both in America and in Europe and
Australia by the big book distribution companies. Those
companies, as a rule, will not handle spiral bound books.

I wondered about having a special spiral bound edition
that I sold strictly from my web page and perhaps from
Amazon, who still seem willing to deal with spiral binding.

Or, people can do what I do with all my bird and flower
guides: take them to Kinko's and have the whack off the
perfect binding and spiral bind them. It costs me about
$2 a book and I wouldn't think about going into the field
anymore with a perfect bound field guide.

Cheers,

David
