Hi!

I have bought last year the (me thinks it is) 1st book of the series [1]. I 
liked the book and I would recommend it. Yet, one thing I want to note: in my 
humble opinion, it was/is very expensive [for my (still-)student pocket!]: 
>100.-EU for <300 pages.

It seems (to me) the book is targeting (only) open source advocates, people 
who don't have problem spending such amounts and/or libraries.

Regards, Nikos
