Working on my book. I should have an updated PDF out soon. I decided to put a basic chapter on memory at the beginning since it is so basic to everything done on the computer. Originally I was going to try to introduce it a piece at time as the example programs came across them, but decided the issues were too overreaching to not just present at the beginning. Hopefully, it will be a short enough chapter that noone will mind waiting for the real code.

In addition, I am looking into self-publishing options. I found a place called Gorham Printing (http://www.gorhamprinting.com/) which seems to have good rates since I'm not going to need any services besides printing. I'm just at a total loss as to how many to run. I'd like to run the first one as small as 25, but that's too few to get enough reviewers. Anyway, 100 is likely. That should get to all the reviewers I want, plus have a few to sell. The only problem I see is turnaround time for reprintings. I don't want to delay orders, but I don't want to overinvest, either. Probably going to charge $39.95.

If anyone has done this before, please let me know what you think!
