Re: [PyKDE] GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition (was: dialog/mainwindow question)
Hello, I know this book since yesterday. I found it at http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt/python/tutorial.html and i download it from opendoc. I was surprised to note that the price at opendoc is 49.95 $ whereas in Paris at Le monde en tique the price is 113 ? as about 113 $ I phoned to Le monde en tique, the salesman said the difference in price corresponds to the transport charges of DHL. Do you have another solution to buy this book. While waiting I have the book in form pdf and I printed it too. I think indeed the writing style is very good and the Introduction to Python is good in my case because i have read the tutorial. I like this book.

Boudewijn, perhaps you can sell us the book directly, so that we know that the money is going into you and your publishers pockets. I won't mind spending $10-$20 more as long as it is going to the right place. I know you have several copies at your home! ;-) I personally find Amazon's business tactics and patent policies atrocious, so I never use them. I always prefer bn.com or some other retailer. You can order directly from the publisher: https://secure.linuxports.com/opendocs/. Amazon has been a bloody nuisance, to be honest. They only want to deal with the largest US book distributor. Opendocs had teamed up with the second largest, and they have no end of trouble getting their books into the Amazon warehouses. I ordered the book exactly one week ago from OpenDos. Today I received the book. I have to say, it is quite informative and the writing style is good. I am enjoying it very much, and even though I have been programming PyQt for almost two years, I have learned a few things from it already. -- Jonathan Gardner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Qt perl apache and linux ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

I am sure that Opendocs can send you the book for rather less -- you won't get DHL speed, but it should be a whole lot less expensive. This is the preferred way of ordering, since it lets my publisher know that there's a demand, and that he should get it listed with Amazon again. (I think I've made this offer before -- but I've got a small stack of author's copies, and if you trust the post-office with a wad of euro's, I can send people in Europe a copy from the Netherlands. Two caveats: first, _I_ do not trust the post office, so I send as I receive, and second, I'm not a company, so cannot handle returns, resends, missing things, queries and so on. And my stack is limited; mail before sending off the cash.) ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

France is not really a good place to buy imported books, the prices are much too high. Even for CNRS use, we buy scientific books (often from the US) through German and English bookstores. I think indeed the writing style is very good and the Introduction to I agree, it's a good book. Now we just need to get it on bookshelves everywhere, as a first step to world dominance ;-) Konrad. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

Best greetings Gerard Breiner Institut D'Astrophysique Spatiale Orsay FRANCE Hi Gerard, your bookstore is ridiculous. I bought mine at Lehmann's Fachbuchhandlung here in Berlin for 58.75¤ last summer (when the euro exchange rate was much worser than now, but with an US price of $49.95). IIRC, it took them about 4 weeks for my order and sadfully, they still have at least one copy from that order of 5 (I've spend 100¤ there today [LDAP/OpenSSL/Linux Journal])...
