No worries, man. But you're always welcome. The FreeCAD world is growing in lots of directions so there's always room for guyz with skillz.

The economics of printed tech books is really tough. My publisher, Purple Squirrel, has been looking at a Print-On-Demand option and it looks like that will eventually happen. I also want to update the book for 0.19. Most of the book is still completely relevant but the new Part::Links need to be discussed. Maybe @normand would consider coming out of retirement long enough to review it?

@normandc @przemo He closed one that I reported last week in less than 45 minutes. I started wondering what his best time is. I think it's actually negative. He may be in possession of a time machine which he uses to fix bugs while someone is typing in the report.😜
