We considered this--Unauthorized, or Unofficial. It
conveyed the meaning pretty well, but at the
same time we felt that "Unauthorized" had a
connotation that the information might not
be particularly accurate, which it is. It's really
out of my hands, anyhow. The eventual title
is almost as much of a mystery to me as it is to you!
It doesn't much matter, I'm just thrilled the
book is finally done and will be out soon.
On a side note, I'm also thrilled that it looks
like the book won't be obseleted right away
by RIS 1.5.

| (...) The whole thing is kind of silly. LEGO felt that we shouldn't be allowed to publish a book without paying them a license fee. We didn't think we needed to pay a license fee to write about their product; after all, we don't do that for anyone (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
