Regarding your comments: Did I missed something about GNU? I studied the gimp website, all GNU licences written in the manual, the GNU site etc. We included all pages of the manual within the book, including all GNU infomations, all author names etc. plus the informations that there is an updated html onlie manual available at gimp.org I did not see any hint anywhere that we have to ask for approval of a Gimp doc team and just found out how to contact gimp developers to ask for adding the book. I don't want to be offensive but is Gimp and the Gimp manual GNU or not? Although I noticed later on that somewhere it's written somewhere that the gimp doc team could be contacted to ask if there is any updated version. As a publishing company has to mention one main author we used "Susan A. Jones" as a editor pen name of the book. Technically there is no way to use 20 or what authors as authors when you publish a book. But all authors are credited in the book pages itself. You do promote 9 year old books on your website, so your comments sounds a bit offensive.
