> well, web2py book is online. You can buy it on lulu.com and download There's a big difference between being able to view/use it online and merely buy it online.
I bought the book early on but some sections are getting out of date now. The Django Project sell their book but also make it freely available online and use feedback from the community to update it: http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/ If Massimo needs to publish because of academia then fair enough, but that doesn't prevent also making it available online.
