Read more books! Here's a good one

And if you decide to read a book - please make it mine. Cause that'll make me rich



Yep, that my first published book. It's german only so it might not be for all of you, sorry. I didn't do the cover design though, please excuse the harsh green but the publisher insisted on it.

You can get it here

And a disclaimer - this post is not to advertise it, it's just to show off

You ain't seen nothing yet

Congrats Matthias

No question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer - If you need help (and you can find us), ask the (Sens)A-Team.

Congrates on the publication, Will it get translated?

One question why in the hell did they insisted on such an bad cover, when one of your pic would have done the job better?

Well done man, hope the book does well, and if its ever in english, or I learn german, i'll read it.

But where do all the calculators go?

Ain't nothin' over till it's over.

- No, I don't think it will ever be translated

- I have no idea. I suggested using one of my pics (at least for the top part where they have the graphic right now) but they said it's not possible due to company identity issues. The publisher always did it like that and that's how they are doing it with my book. And quite frankly, you don't have much to say as a first time author. I'm more than happy that I didn't have to pay them for publishing it (cause that is quite common as well). So I guess I'm fine with the cover design

I'd love to read it, but unfortunately ich spreche nur kleine Deutsch. Wouldn't be able to follow anything technical like a CG book.

That seems to be interesting. I've just two questions:

1. Can you give us some examples of the content of the book? Is it for a special application?

2. Is there any chance that SFM users can get a discount?

And of course, congratulations on your fist published book.

CONgrat on the book mate, but the dude who designed that cover should be SHOT immediatly.

When you love a pet, loosing it is like loosing a part of your soul. I lost part of mine on Feb 12 2008. Never will it be the same again.

Immediately? Why rush?! There are more appropriate methods, I think!

Congratulations on getting published though, Matthias!
