Comments about Rocky Nook The Canon Camera Hackers Manual:

Having been one of the people to have been involved in the creation of the CHDK project from day one, and all during 3 years after, I was extremely disappointed to know that someone would be taking all the information that _*I*_ painstakingly authored on the Wiki pages for MONTHS and YEARS for CHDK. Then he would just paraphrase ALL MY WORK in a book for himself just so he could get rich off of this open-source project that so many worked on for free. When the CHDK community heard of this author doing this, it was met with mixed reactions. None of which were very warm. ALL THEIR HARD WORK THAT THEY DID FOR FREE, JUST FOR THIS PLAGIARIST TO FINANCIALLY BENEFIT OFF OF IT.

This doesn't sit well. Especially since I was the one to write the main brunt of the original CHDK-Wiki User's Guides, Programming Tutorials, Grid Designs, and so much more, where this "author" got *ALL* his original information.

At no time did this author ever contact ANY of the people involved in the CHDK project, and at NO TIME did he even bother to offer to send one of his books for inspection to ANYONE to see if he even made any errors (of which there were many that were corrected on the Wiki *AFTER* this "author" had his book published), nor did he even send copies as a good-will gesture to the programmers and documentation authors for all that he received for free from everyone involved in the CHDK project.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Just search for CHDK WIKI in any search engine and the very first link presented will lead you to the FULL documentation of CHDK with more information and scripts than this author could have ever printed in his book. AND ITS ALL FREE. Quite unlike what some underhanded greedy plagiarists would rather have you believe.
