While it is available as a free pdf, you can of course you can buy the actual book also: http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590594916 It's a good idea to buy a copy because it looks nice on your bookshelf, and purchasing it supports the work of the author:) You can also buy it as an e-book if you prefer.
