I recently bought the beta Rails book. Today I got an email saying: "We thought you''d like to know that we just completed processing your order (number xxxxx) from The Pragmatic Programmers. Please let us know if it doesn''t arrive in a reasonable amount of time." So I''m wondering if perhaps the Rails book is now completed, published, and winging it''s way to me in the post? I can''t wait to have the dead tree version - PDF is OK, but it''s nice not to look at a screen sometimes! :-D Did anyone else get that email today? ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Rent-A-Monkey Website Development Web: http://www.rentamonkey.com/
Dear Dave,> I recently bought the beta Rails book.

Please > let us know if it doesn''t arrive in a reasonable amount of time."I''ve got this eMail too, some time ago. I think it only refers to the PDF, not the book version. Best regards, Magnus

I''m hoping to release a new beta next week, and then go to the printers the week after. We''ll start shipping early August. Cheers Dave

We''ll start shipping early August.Thanks for keeping us posted Dave - I''m sure you can tell that this book is very hotly anticipated! I just can''t wait to actually receive it so I can read it like a book rather than like a very long online tutorial, since I already spend far too long looking at a screen, and paper is slightly easier on the eyes. The PDF has been great so far - very useful indeed - but I can''t help feeling that I''ll get even more out of it in book format.

I didn''t receive the email. Does it mean that I''ll not be getting the new beta?
