I wonder if you will need a dongle just to read it?

This is good news though. The more interest generated in GDL the better for everyone.

Perhaps if anyone gets a copy they could do a short review for us?
There were some sample pdf pages on the announcement page. see my previous link. The sample pages suggest there is some emphasis on always trying to see the bigger picture; not just the nuts and the bolts.

Nicholson-Cole pioneered this approach to teaching GDL. Cadimage have exploited its capabilities ever since they were known as Theometric software. At least 10 years ago.

I went to the Cadimage web site but did not
see any place where the price was stated.

Hello Laura,
According to my information, the current conversion rate
for Euros to USD is about 1.256 so the cost in USD would
be 75 Eros times 1.256 equals about $94.20 before the
15% pre-order discount. How do you get $90.00 USD ?
Thanks,
Peter Devlin

Hello Laura,
Thank you. I missed that because I did not
recognize that USD meant US dollars in
that context. I thought it meant something else.
Interesting discrepancy between the Eros price
according to Peter and the USD price.
