It's starting to sound as though I seriously misjudged the book. I don't have a copy of it myself, but what you say seems evidenced by the book's superior sales. It sounds like they've struck the perfect balance there between the tech and academic audiences. We're generally told over and over that the only audience for books like we write is game developers, though I keep thinking that surely there must be a larger audience out there who would like this stuff as long as it wasn't too technical or academic.
