I want to talk about the chapter I'm currently writing, but in order to do that in a way which makes sense, I really need to mention the chapters which are already written. Well, it makes sense to me at least, and this is my site, so I guess I get to do that if I want.
Chapter 1 of the book covers installation and configuration of ImageMagick on a variety of platforms including various Linux distributions, FreeBSD, and Windows. I didn't cover MacOS, as I figured that most people who care will know how to use Fink, and I don't have access to a Macintosh to write anything on.
I'll write a summary of the other chapters I've already finished writing soon.

A good book on ImageMagick is long overdue.
Special attention to FreeBSD installation is particularly welcome.
Cannot wait to see it published.
all the best

Hey, thanks for pointing out the Amazon thing. I realised it was coming, but I didn't know that it would be this quickly.
There is definitely detail on FreeBSD in the installation chapter -- both about BSD ports and compiling from source. Is there anything else I should have covered about FreeBSD?
Cheers,
