TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I found the following in Linux Format
(http://www.linuxformat.co.uk), (LXF49, page 7), and
thought to share it with you.

To compliment the latest Blender 3D release, the
project has produced a 600-page user manual featuring
tips, examples and full-colour 16-page image gallery.
The organisation has begun a pre-sales campaign in an
attempt to bridge a financial gap.
Sales of the manual have previously been instrumental
in the process of keeping Blender alive, project
leaders say, and the new one is no different. In a
statement, Ton Roosendaal said a sales target of 500
had been set to cover expenses and printing and that
an additional 500 sales would "allow us to close the
books on a positive result." The book, scheduled for
release in the last week of December, is available for
44.0 Euros, though pre-orders qualify for a discounted
price of 35.00 Euros, and the first 250 will be signed
by the author. You could even win your own copy of
LXF50. http://www.blender.org";
