(link: <a href="http://www.scriptorium.com/books/publishing-fundamentals-unstructured-framemaker-8/">http://www.scriptorium.com/books/publishing-fundamentals-unstructured-framemaker-8/</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>We canceled the structured FrameMaker 8 book for two major reasons:</div><div><br></div><div>* Sales of the unstructured book were disappointing.</div><div>* Adobe's product release cycle accelerated to the point where we couldn't keep up. We were worried that by the time we got the FM 8 content done, FM 9 would already be released.</div><div><br></div><div>We have discussed the book issue with Adobe several times, but have been unable to come up with a solution that works for all parties.</div><div><br></div><div>If there's someone on this list who is interested in taking on the book updates, feel free to contact me off-list.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Sarah O'Keefe</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
