I noticed you book has been put on Amazon "Multiplayer Gaming and Engine Coding for the Torque Game Engine". Can you make where we can view you book before we buy it. $70 is alot of money to spend of you already know the stuff in the book. While your last book taught me alot and was a great book I have advanced since it came out. Besides there are alot of books I've ordered off Amazon that I thought were going to be great books, but turned out to be totally useless.

Can you please make it so we can view your book?
Thank you

I totally agree. There is no point in buying a second book that covers the same subject as the first or other books that I might have in my possession.

Couldn't you just wait until it comes out and look through it at the bookstore before deciding to buy it?

Why should I have to chase it down at bookstore, spend $3.50 a gallon in gas, and then it not possibly be there. Done it been there.

They'd probably sell alot more copies if they made it to were the customer could atleast see the index.

I'm sure he is still working on it if it hasn't been released yet. I'm also sure there will be samples. And you could also call the bookstore first to see if it's in stock. GPGT was a great book, so I highly doubt this new one will be "totally useless".

It looks like it's going to be an awesome book. :-)

Hello folks. I have just recently updated my site, or rather consolidated my sites. I used to have a blog and a site for 'static' content. That was a bit of a hassle, so I'm now using a single blog-based site. I haven't made the announcement yet because I want to have plenty of content prior to telling people about the change, but since you're asking about my second book and since I moved my blog content to the site already, please let me provide you with a NEW link to the blog details describing my second book.
