Indeed the book has a wide scope, that corresponds to the content of
the pd~convention. While the convention was in parts similar to the
LAC with providing technical talks and performances, there also was a
big part devoted to more theoretical discussions, where people from
outside the "Pd scene" were invited. The book tries to reflect that,
deliberatly taking the risk of appearing unfocused.

ADV: Anyway, I hope the online PDFs will also be seen as a "try before you
buy" offer. The book is really beautiful and at 24 Euro (including an
interesting DVD) it's hopefully not too expensive. It has a ISBN so
ordering it from any bookshop should be possible, otherwise just mail
info@email-addr-hidden-verlag.de if you have problems with their LANG=de_DE
webshop. End ADV.

Ciao
