I bought it, and here is my review. ;)
Basicly a waste of money. Didn't really have much in the way
of usefull new information and the command descriptions weren't
much (if any) better than the one which came with BB2.
I was one of those who were going to work on a new manual, but
then someone else announced that they had one about completed and
the Phoenix project caught my fancy so I dropped it. The Phoenix
effort fell appart and whoever was supposedly making the manual
shortly dissapeared.
I would still be interested in working with others on an ebook
manual, say with it being added to command-by-command and always
available to the public for whatever help it could be. I would
like to start with the screen commands if anyone wants to supply
information/insite...
