That was the hardest thing for us...trying to figure out what we should cover 
and what we wouldn't. I now understand why books don't ever cover as much as 
you would like...Publisher deadlines, limited info on a beta release, 
expected page counts per chapter/book, etc. We wanted to get the new Delphi 
programmer going and at the same time have enough meat to be valuable 
intermediate as well. I think we did pretty well all considered.
