Paktpub was nice enough to offer the PDF version of Dmitry's book for a 
few euro extra (password protected PDF with my name/address printed on 
each page). It's great to have a book with you on your laptop.

Will O'Reilly do the same?

Documentation is a weak part of TYPO3 and of many other projects. Adding 
documentation to code in PHPdoc headers is fortunately fairly easy, so 
that would be great to have!

What's keeping you from doing that? ;-)

It's almost June, so the book should be out soon (I hope). Can't wait to 
read it!
