Re: Announcing the book on the website

[Ralf J. <jue...@cs...>]

I agree with Ethan--if you do not go to page to read
but to go somewhere else from there, having to scroll
is annoying.

That said, I like your design. There a few things that
could be trimmed (e.g., leave out the ToC, shorten the
about-Gnuplot-blah, remove one of plots on the top).
