Disembodied Moustache

I stopped into the Barnes & Noble in Union Square in New York City and took a peek at the book. Overall it looks quite good, lots to learn and think about. However, there’s a pretty significant error in my chapter: throughout the tutorial section, most of the captions to the illustrations and diagrams are mis-matched. Doug Easterly is in the process of trying to resolve this, as it really hinders the usefulness of the tutorial. The mistake occurred after he turned over the materials to the publisher, and neither of us knew about the problem until I skimmed through the book at B&N.

Anyone who has already purchased the book should contact the publisher and demand a revised copy once Doug has got them to sort it out. A $50 textbook should not contain such a glaring problem, and I hope this is remedied before it reaches full distribution.

I have a chapter in a book that was just released this past week, authored and edited by Doug Easterly.

While I have not yet received my copy, it looks like a really nice compilation of artists working with Flash and I feel honored to have been asked to contribute.
