The problem I assume here is that there is sometimes quite a few months
between the time the author finishes writing the book and the time it gets
published. A delay of even 3 months will put the book out of sync.
sometimes.

For instance for the CherryPy book, I know that the release of CP3 will
trigger lots of interesting questions I haven't thought about. The timing
is sometimes unfortunate. Considering the number of evolutions TG has
known in 2006 I would say hats off to the TG book authors for keeping up
:)
