I promise I'll fight to be the first in line to buy a (good) book on the
3.0 front end!

I'd sure like to see one written by David Wagner.  His book on the
kernel is VERY good (for me it is the best, except possibly on matters
surrounding authoring packages, on which Maeder is superb, and
specialized issues about graphics).  Moroever, Wagner has posted some
very useful tips about the 3.0 front end -- see
http://www.sni.net/princon/tips/.  So perhaps we have an author in the
wings.

Now we need a publisher!
