Beth Kane wrote of her frustration with Frame's online help and hardcopy
documentation. With Eric's permission, I'm forwarding to the list the
information I sent her.
Beth: I couldn't agree more. I find Tom Neuburger's book "Mastering
FrameMaker 5" much more helpful, but it has been out of print for a long
time. Thus I pass on this good news to you. Tom's email address is

Hi all,
We're done!
It looks like the printing issues are resolved. I've signed
the papers and ordered an initial print run. We'll have
books in hand in just a few weeks. The quality should be
close to that of the original, same size and perfect-bound.
So if you wish to order Mastering FrameMaker 5,
you can do so now. See below for more information.
I've sized the first run for those who wanted copies as
soon as available. I'll fill orders from that run as I
receive them, then reprint as needed. If it looks like
demand is steady, I'll also keep some copies on hand.
Thanks to all of you for your encouragement, advice,
and patience! This has been quite a learning experience,
and a fascinating journey.
As always, please email me if you have further questions.
