[Radiance-general] "Rendering with Radiance" still not available

[Lars O. Grobe]

Hi!

I got the message from Amazon today that they gave up trying to provide 
me with the book that we tried to order several times over the last half 
year. Obviously it is not printed, even if multiple orders go in, as I 
read about others who also ordered during these last months.

Is there any possibility that the book will be printed again in the 
future? If not, has it been considered to provide it as a digital copy, 
like in ps or pdf format? I guess that even the smallest amount to be 
charged for download would result in better monetary benefit for the 
authors then a printed edition, which is listed at a higher price, but 
not sold because noone is printing it. Right now, the information 
collected in the book is simply lost for anyone starting to work with 
Radiance, only libraries that purchased a copy years ago have still some 
of the books available.

I feel that it is a pity to have this book, that is refered to in every 
second mail on the list, and probably the only source of information 
covering really more or less any aspect of Radiance, is currently 
disappearing from the library shelves and cannot be replaced, and of 
course will prevent radiance from playing a role in new programmes that 
cannot use it if no documentation is available.

CU Lars.
