Does anyone know what version the book is? If the online one is still  
in beta, then the book must be a beta release, too (which is kind of  
disheartening).

Beta 0.16. And there's a foreword about this versioning:
Foreword: Beta 0.16
Alright,we're in a Beta release now.What does this mean? Not much,really it
just means that I no longer feel like we're going to have massive structural
changes between now and the 1.0 release of this book.[...]

So, as the book is free, I guess you could just download it and give it a
try. Maybe it'll look less disheartening as you have a real look at it...

Cheers.

I wonder how they'll update my print copy that came last week?

The printed book has all the editing, copy editing, and updates for  
tools like Nexus and m2e. Tim did everything humanly possible,  
including pushing out the release date, to get all the content updated  
for the book. Tim has gradually started pushing the edits back into  
online version.

Subject: The Definitive Guide: online vs. print

I purchased the printed version of Maven: The Definitive Guide. I'm  
confused about how it differs from the online version, which is  
available here:

http://www.sonatype.com/community/definitive_guide.html

The online version is Beta 0.16, September 1, 2008, which I believe  
is newer than the book. So, if the online version is more up to date,  
why should I bother reading the print version?

Good Question...

I also pre-ordered the book there in Germany, looking forward 
to stick my nose in it :)
