You mean like paper books...? Eww.

Nah, these days killing trees is optional so it would probably rather be a PDF file. But the book still has to be written first. (printing HTML specification doesn't count) --anders

Sometimes I do find it funny that they still make paper computing-oriented books. Think of all the trees that die doing that. But I agree, any decent book, possibly practical example driven. P.S. For any who knows Lisp, Practical Common Lisp was an amazing book. Something like that for D would be sweet.

Hi guys, My name is Jason Gilmore, and I'm Apress' open source editor. We'd love to work with you guys on a D book. In fact, we're the publisher of Practical Common Lisp. :-) Also could be a multi-author project, and we also publish several books under a variety of open source licenses, GFDL included (Dive into Python, The Definitive Guide to Qmail, and Pro Django among them). Regarding the paper-versions, while we still publish those old-fashioned things (lots of them), our e-book program is also quite strong and growing all the time. At any rate, I hope to hear from you guys, feel free to e-mail me at jason apress.com. Jason Jason Gilmore
