I like your enthusiasm and generosity.  Keep up the good work.

My own reaction to *Python How to Program* is more reserved
(and I was one of the tech reviewers of the book).  While it
does, indeed, have several strengths, it's not flawless.  In
particular, the last draft I saw gave Win* programmers an
inadequate sense of both Python's capabilities and good style.

I'll withhold more specific comment until I see the book as
it appears on store shelves.  I can add, though, that the
Deitels have always been thoroughly courteous and professional
with me, even through technical disagreements.
