Thanks for suggesting this, Tim ... my books are XSL-related, one on
XSLT/XPath and one on XSLFO.
For weighing down shelf-feet, paper renditions of these electronically
published books have been (for one) and will be (by the end of this year
for the other) available (note this title was published using XSLFO to
create the camera-ready copy):
Definitive XSLT and XPath
First Edition - 2001-12-10 - ISBN 0-13-065196-6
Copyright (c) 2002 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
Prentice Hall PTR - 393 pages
(a print-only rendition of the Ninth Edition of
Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath;
this does not qualify for free electronic updates)
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/links/dxx-info.htm
Sample: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/links/dxx-sample.htm
I cannot offer the free updates to customers of the paper renditions as I
can for customers of the following electronic editions (note the electronic
rendition of XSLT/XPath is already newer than the paper rendition above):
Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath
(XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language)
Tenth Edition - 2001-12-06 - ISBN 1-894049-08-X
Copyright (c) 2001 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
/ 394 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates,
/ / soft-copy of included examples, and an
/ / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions.
/ / Free 140-page download preview excerpt.
Practical Formatting Using XSLFO
(Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects)
Second Edition - 2002-04-05 - ISBN 1-894049-09-8
Copyright (c) 2002 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
/ 361 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates,
/ / soft-copy of included examples, and an
/ / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions.
/ / Free 175-page download preview excerpt.
Note that since all of the content is authored in XML, we are able to
produce many renditions, including an accessible rendition specifically
designed for screen readers.
The freely-downloadable previews have the full text of the first two
chapters and all annexes, and the introductory text from all other chapters.
Information and previews are available on our web site noted below.
