'iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino'
 	looks interesting, but at 128 pages, and O'RA's 
penchant for adding much 'boilerplate' matter at the front and 
back of their paper boots, it seems to cook down to 107 pages 
of 'meat'.  Reviewing the on-line preview matter, it seem to 
be written in the 'conversational' rather than 'technical 
formal' form from O'RA in days past ... not a good thing for 
my way of thinking

I'll request a review copy
