Re: This just in: authorless TDPL becomes collector's edition

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

I wondered that too - looking at the footer thats added to the PDF file it 
doesn't mention that it timeouts after 45 days.

I guess only Andrei can tell us for sure ;-)

Where to find this PDF version? I can only see the contents, excerpt 
from first chapter, and the index. And I can't stand waiting for my 
paper copy in its long way to PL.
