Ah, Joel, that’s the trick to figure out, now isn’t it… ;)

Bryan was an author originally, but circumstances prevented him from working on the book, thus Ian and I were enlisted to round out the team…

Or you could just say that he’s a mad Amazon.com hacker with Photoshop skillz. ;)

So if Bryan wasn’t an author, how’d he get his name there?

To the defense of Mr. Dvorak, it is kindof a surprise to see just how easy all the cool new web page stuff is to do. Been learning (through digging through Mr. Rubins code) some of the ways modern web coding works. Ya but the fact is that he is a man with a following…a lot of people read his stuff!! Still, I\‘d say cut him some slack.

Genius! Dvorak’s marketing tactics are getting old. This is a great alternative to writing an enraged blog post (which is exactly what he is looking for). Good luck!

Chris: It's yet another ploy by Veloso to get his name known around the world. Lea: I know :) In fact, there's a link to her offer in my post (see: "Dear John" in the text). Before reading her post, I had the same idea, but then it morphed into an offer from the 4 of us to just send him our books :)

[…] So, Molly offered 2 days of training gratis, and now it’s my turn to offer something for Mr Dvorak (well, me Jeff, Dan and Colly collectively). We’re giving him a copy of Beginning CSS Web Development followed by Pro CSS Techniques (once we’ve finished writing it — I’m halfway through my allotted 4 chapters!). Let’s hope it does the job, eh?

I noticed you, Jeff, and Ian are the authors, but why did they feel the need to exclude you and Ian and give Bryan Veloso credit on the actual cover. He’s so rebellious and wreckless that doesn’t even support IE6 on his own website! :)

Anyways I wish this book was around about 2 years ago, It would of really helped. I’m surprised a (good) beginner’s guide to CSS hasn’t came along earlier than now, no wonder people think the web standardistas are elitists…haha

If this book can teach Dvorak CSS, then you’ll know that this book will be successful. Good Luck.

"you need to overcome your deep-seeded fear and loathing of CSS"

And that's exactly what his post exuded... fear. I hope he takes up your offer. :)
