I ordered this from Amazon the day this post went up and its great! I'm almost half way through already and really enjoying it. I did want to say though that Apress' quality control process must be particularly shoddy. I was very disappointed in the printing and construction of the actual book. There are all sorts of spacing and kerning errors in the type. The pages are cut slightly crooked and from about page 147 on the page numbers simply didn't print.

None of this takes away from the quality of the content, but its a shame that a good book is marred by such poor construction.
