I'd also like to plug the SimpleCV book from O'Reilly -- also coming soon.

Full disclosure, I am one of the authors.

Are you affiliated with the book/authors?

Negatory.

I did not mean to be hostile. I was just curious about the relationship if any...

That's okay :) It is a valid concern. I picked up the original during the Dennis Ritchie memorial sale and found it to be worth the time/money.
