+<para>This book is divided into the following parts. Although most of
+the appendices is copied into part II (which enlarges the book somewhat), 
+we believe it's the easiest way to read it like this. It simply saves
+you from having to click to an Appendix, then back to where you were in
+part II. That's a real chore especially if you're reading the TXT
+version of this book.</para>
