Dear KDE Enthusiast,

Due to the enormeous amount of requests by international customers and the
overwhelming success of the book in Europe O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
decided to ship the book as soon as possible also outside of Europe.

	"Programming with Qt"
	By Matthias Kalle Dalheimer
	1st Edition April 1999
	1-56592-588-2, Order Number: 5882
	384 pages, $32.95


An interesting side note on the book: "Programming QT" is the first book
in English published by O'Reilly to have originated in the German office.
"Traditionally, Europeans have always had a strong affinity for Linux and
free software in general, both as users and as programmers" explained
Hansel, "So when we started the Qt book, we had a strong interest here in
Europe, but we weren't sure how strong the interest would be in the US. So
we decided to publish it in English for the European market only. By the
time the book was published by the German company, the Open Source
movement had advanced so that Qt was widely recognized as a cutting-edge
topic. This was the first time we published an English language O'Reilly
book outside the US - but we will do so again whenever it makes sense."
