Got my "collectors item" delivered today from Amazon UK. Looks good.
I

the bonus of being able to download a PDF version of TDPL.
Thanks for all the hard work Andrei.

Due to a pretty odd mistake at the printer, the first 1000 copies of
TDPL
will not have the name of the author on their cover. (The name still
appears on the back cover and the spine.)
The history of printing is rife with rare printing mistakes that
have
become collector's editions. Preorder now to be among the first 1000
readers who get the authorless TDPL edition.

What happened to the nice looking PDF file we saw previews on, that
one
with syntax highlighting and a green background in the code example?
That's the iPad edition :o).
Now seriously, what happens is that what you see is exactly what went
to
the printer. I can configure colors for a color edition, but for now
the
publisher asked me for black and white.
Andrei
That's too bad. I can understand that the publisher want it in black and
withe but the PDF, it would have been nice to the PDF in color.

Maybe the color PDF will be another collectors item ;-)

we only get 45 days free access to the download, so I hope they allow a
colour version soon.
