I used to love standing at borders looking at all the computer books. I still have my copies of Ivor Hortons beginning C and beginning c++. I never see that guy getting love in the programming author world, but that was my guy when I was a teen.

I still love going to the bookshop and looking at the programming books! (I'm in my 40s)

I wrote a few things for Wrox back then. Ivor managed to get his books onto the reading lists for a few US colleges, and that ensured a steady flow of royalties (and requests for updated versions). I was quite jealous.
