Yes thanks, it has been duly noted that Dr.T has mentioned it, on
May 24, 1995. See below. As for discussed countless times,
I don't have any recollection of any discussion on P3D. Of course
it's possible I missed it. I was referring to in P3D and not Stereo
World. In any case I haven't read all the back issues that I have.
FYI it was noted before on Jan 5, 1993. See further below. Lastly
a few comments, I did buy the book when it first came out.
I didn't know about it till they had mentioned it on the Entertainment
Tonight show. I went to the bookstore a few days later, not really
thinking they would be carrying it. But sure enough they had it in
the new book section. Of course I paid top dollar for it back then.($35)
Still I was happy with it. Except for the printing quality which just
passable.
