Actually, it sounds like this book will be a nice companion to our FAQ
book. The target audience of ours is users of FAQs (and the Net in
general), while the target audience of Russell's is authors of FAQs. I'd
be happy to point people to Russell's book in the section of our book that
I'm currently calling "You Too Can Contribute to the FAQs," if that's ok
with you Russell.

Good luck with your book Russell!
Nancy
