I can't help but write back to this thread.

Thank you all so much for your positive feedback, what a great
wedding present :)

I just wanted to leave some links here for those that might not
follow the list and stumble across this thread.

First the book website is: http://runningxen.com/

We have a low traffic readers list:
http://runningxen.com/mailman/listinfo/readers_runningxen.com

We have an errata page:
http://runningxen.com/errata/

And a lot of other nice resources and information:
http://runningxen.com/resources/
http://runningxen.com/resources/#resources_since_first_edition
http://runningxen.com/changes/
http://runningxen.com/reviews/


Unlike Jeff, I am trying to sell more books ;) But as a co-author
I am passionate about providing as much to the readers (and
potential readers) as possible.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

contact *** AT *** runningxen.com

or consider joining the readers list.

Cheers,
Todd
