Today (a few minutes ago), I received the file from Angel (one of my
co-editors). Angel made a few formating corrections. I expect to forward
the file to the publisher and expect that it will move along and be ready
for purchase in August. The book has 29 contributors, 31 chapters. It is
457 pp., 101 figures. In addition to Fabio's chapter on digital imaging,
there is a comprehensive chapter on file photography by Dan Geiger.

I hesitate to say more and violate the list-hosting charter. When the book
is ready I will post a notice about the availability of the book and where
to go for further information. If anyone has questions please contact me
personally. Thanks.

Regards,
Charlie
