I hope no-one will object to this. It *is* (or could be interpreted
as)  blatant advertising, but I trust that it will be excused on the
grounds that it is also informative.

I am pleased to announce the publication of:

Presenting XML by Sams.Net ISBN 1-57521-334-4
Paperback 414 pages. $24.99 USA

Lead Author: Richard Light (of SGML Tagger fame)

Contributing authors: Simon North (Synopsys Inc)
                                   Charles A. Allen (WebMethods)


Technical Editor & Foreword: Tim Bray

Personal Note: It was quite a challenge to try and describe a "moving
target" and even though we were caught out by XSL, I think we did a
pretty good job. To try and keep up, Sams will be opening the
supporting WWW site at http://www.mcp.com/info/1-57521/1-57521-334-6
just as soon as it's ready. 

For the technically minded, we authored in SGML (TEI-lite DTD) and
used Jade to produce the RTF for publishing in Microsoft Word, and the
HTML (and XML) for online use.
