Geeky programmers don't look like Mel Gibson. Don't put them on the front cover. ;) Posted by: MadMan on March 23, 2003 11:50 PM
Interesting. I thought it was just me that felt kind of creeped out by those covers. My local book store stacks those books facing forward, too. It isn't so much that they don't look like Mel Gibson, it's that the obviously unprofessional photography and the size of the photot makes the books look cheap. Plus, it seems like a few guys writing books in their spare time, which doesn't bespeak "quality" to me. I never like to hear about a company (even a parent company) going bankrupt, but it might be a shot in the arm for them. Posted by: Lydia on March 24, 2003 03:35 PM
