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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you have problems with their LANG=de_DE webshop. End ADV.
