It's difficult to imagine a book about everything except W-F AP, maybe a book
about digital enhancement wold be good but I know that is a difficult argument
because it's very thecnical. So I like if such a book give the instructions in a
syntetical way, without reporting each command in this or that software,
everybody have a little fantasy and can find the right way to applicate the
right idea. If not, I imagine that a precise book all with "push ctrl+a+b+c+d"
etc intructions would be boring.

But there are a lot of others interesting topics, such as ATM and photographic
atlases.

About hi-res photograpy I think that today CCD do a far better job, even if at a
higher price. So a book about it would be useful but results are non so great
respect ccd. And about hi-res planetary imaging, webcams and ccds are on another
...planet... respect to photograpy.

Well, the next book you'll write, don't worry about argument, I'll want one
copy!
