well in my case that wont be necessary since Ephestos has its own book and I will keep documenting the more features I add. I am also thinking of dropping external documentation and bringing it inside the image. If PFTE is near completion then most likely will be a next book but I decided to concentrate more on my own project . I started ambitious with this project but now I want to make something smaller, easier and more practical for my personal needs as a 3d artist.
