Here's a forward of the publisher's Email blurb. I should probably say
here, by way of disclaimer, that I am not a totally disinterested party - I
helped do the DTP layout and did some of the art for them, and may even get
paid for it if they manage to sell enough copies.
Any inquiries for more info should be addressed to Airspeed
(airspd@co*.co*) not to me.
