[M4IF News] RE: [M4IF Technotes] RE: Finally ... THE MPEG-4 BOOK !

[Rob Koenen]

Last word on The MPEG-4 Book.
It looks like Barnes&Noble have it at a 30% discount
at the moment, as a special deal. That's even better than
the M4IF member deal. Since we are are a not-for-profit
(with no financial interest int he book being sold through 
our site), I am happy to pass the offer on to the list.
They do distribution outside the US too. If you want to check 
it out, go here: http://www.m4if.org/products/book.php 
and follow the link given at the bottom of the page.
Best,
Rob Koenen
