Francis Hamit's thoroughly interesting (and typically strongly
opinionated) new book, VIRTUAL REALITY:  AN EXPLORATION OF CYBERSPACE,
is available to you early birds who choose to order it from the author
directly.  Hamit is a longtime journalist of technology and a contri-
butor to CYBEREDGE JOURNAL.  His style is sharp, his eye is keen, and
whether or not you agree with his salty observations on the history of
our field, you have to admit he knows all the characters.

To order and receive a signed copy of VIRTUAL REALITY:  AN EXPLORATION
OF CYBERSPACE (Howard W. Sams/Prentice-Hall Publishers, Carmel, Indiana,
1993), send $29.95 (California residents add 8.25%, or $2.46) and your
address to:

		Mr. Francis Hamit
		12828 Victory Boulevard #337
		North Hollywood, CA 91606  USA

Send U.S. funds only, please.  I can't read my own handwriting, but I
believe there is an additional $3.00 for delivery to Canada or $7.00
for foreign delivery.

Included with the book is a disk valued at $10.00 offering free time
on DIASPAR, the text-and-graphics VR-oriented BBS.

Such a deal.  I've had my run-in's with Francis on his interpretations
of history, but I've never doubted his integrity and the draft I saw
told me this was one interesting take on things.  ***1/2
