James,

Writing a book is a huge undertaking, and it's readers' testimonies of
usefulness that make it worthwhile. Thanks. Regarding another Boost book, I
do have a book on the STL algorithms to write first. After that, who
knows...

John,

I believe that the fantastic help I received from you and other brilliant
Boosters was key in striking the balance between technical detail and
user-level topics. So, your proofreading definitely made the book much
better.

Cheers,
