Hi!
I got the message from Amazon today that they gave up trying to provide me with the book that we tried to order several times over the last half year. Obviously it is not printed, even if multiple orders go in, as I read about others who also ordered during these last months.
Is there any possibility that the book will be printed again in the future? If not, has it been considered to provide it as a digital copy, like in ps or pdf format? I guess that even the smallest amount to be charged for download would result in better monetary benefit for the authors then a printed edition, which is listed at a higher price, but not sold because noone is printing it. Right now, the information collected in the book is simply lost for anyone starting to work with Radiance, only libraries that purchased a copy years ago have still some of the books available.
I feel that it is a pity to have this book, that is refered to in every second mail on the list, and probably the only source of information covering really more or less any aspect of Radiance, is currently disappearing from the library shelves and cannot be replaced, and of course will prevent radiance from playing a role in new programmes that cannot use it if no documentation is available.
CU Lars.
yes Lars,
I have ordered and they are still trying to find..

Either that or - what would be the better way in my opinion - move printing to a
better working books on demand service. There're some (supposed to be) good ones
in Germany - while they require a little yearly fee to get a ISBN number for you
and keep the book online, they don't just drop the book from printing.

Hi Lars,
I ordered the book mid-December through BiggerBooks.com
http://www.biggerbooks.com/bk_detail.aspx?referrer=bbcj&AID=9467039&PID=536211&SID=a127d3077473v29595007&ISBN=0974538108
It took about a month, but eventually I got the book. At the time the book
cost $60, it looks like they raised the price somewhat.

I'd like a copy of this creation too.
Is it expected to be bought from amazon, or can I buy it from ecampus.
Respectfully,
kevin
