Due to a pretty odd mistake at the printer, the first 1000 copies of

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.

Strangely enough, the InformIT pre-purchase print books haven't
shipped yet, the book is still listed as in Rough Cut status. Wonder
how much longer it will take.
When I bought mine it still said rough cut, but I received the
collector's edition.
You got yours already? That's odd.
Hum, I checked the InformIT again, search for TDPL, and there are two
"books" listed, the roughs cuts, and final one. That's odd, only the
final one should appear. Do you know which one you purchased, are you
sure it was the rough cuts?
Okay it wasn't rough cuts, I went to andre's site which used to show
a huge picture of his kid with the book and clicked on a link to informit
from there, that page seems to have changed but here the link to informit:
http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321635361
I clicked on the Buy button next to the Book. Was shipped within 24 hours,
got it
within 7 days or so and I'm in South Africa (Amazon says it takes a month
to deliver).
