I received my collector's edition yesterday, and I'm telling you, with all this hype, it had better be worth something in 40 years' time. ;) I got it just in time, too. I'm going to Canada for a conference tomorrow, and it'll be perfect reading material during the long flight across the Atlantic. I've read the first two chapters already, and I have to say it's a thoroughly enjoyable read. The examples are good, the colloquial style makes the material more interesting (as if it wasn't interesting to begin with!), and the rapid-fire puns are delivered in style. ;) Well done! -Lars
