I want to congratulate the 9 authors (3 of which are part of the Infrared5 team) on the new book release:
“The Essential Guide to Open Source Flash Development”
I believe the three of them (Chris Allen, John Grden, Andy Zupko) were all first time authors. I guess the three of them now join the prestigious group of authors here such as Keith Peters, Todd Anderson, etc… Come on guys, don’t get all snooty on my now! Do I still get to have lunch with you or is it limited to just the book club? 
I myself have never written a book so I could imagine the time and energy put into it. Great job team!
