-
- Jaxfanz and others have noted it. I would urge you to notify your lawyers
- that their newly-proposed title for your book is uncomfortably close to the
- preexisting title, "FORTH: A TEXT AND REFERENCE". That is, unless you and
- its authors/publisher have some agreement on why your book is a follow-on
- to theirs, or unless you hope to cash in by construing an imagined linkage
- of that sort.
-
- Whether or not your Forth book is in the same class as this excellent one,
- I don't expect that it will be in the same series. If this is correct,
- please honor prior Forth authors by considering some different and more
- original style than the "FORTH:" opening word for your book's title.
- Thank you.
