Hey dan sorry i havent had a chance to comment been real busy. I have briefly read over the rough draft that u sent me in the email. I thought it was excellent from what I did read.
Only thing I suggest if you hadnt done it allready is at the beggining when you talk about adding scripts you dont mention all the new options it gives you... I mean the car project shooter project ect.... I know its not about scripting but at least give a basic description.... Tho i suppose its pretty obvious but since its suppose to be for begginers.It might be worth at least mentioning....
Other then that great job.... I wish you alot of luck with your book...
Take Care
