Horrah! This may very well be the first limited edition item I've owned in my life!

Lol, might be the same for me as well, but its indifferent to me. Even though I am major geek I never cared much about collectibles, autographs, special editions and the like.

After the next burning of the books, I hope to own the last remaining copy of the authorless TDRL untainted by any trace of smoke or ashes and completely intact in its original cellophane wrapping.

Got my "collectors item"  delivered today from Amazon UK. Looks good. I like the bonus of being able to download a PDF version of TDPL.

Thanks for all the hard work Andrei.

Mine arrived today too, yay, very pleasant reading so far.

Bit confused abgout the "free online edition" though, does it go *poof* after 45 days?

A...

I wondered that too - looking at the footer thats added to the PDF file it doesn't mention that it timeouts after 45 days.

I guess only Andrei can tell us for sure ;-)

Where to find this PDF version? I can only see the contents, excerpt from first chapter, and the index. And I can't stand waiting for my paper copy in its long way to PL.

I got my collectors edition from Amazon US a few days ago.
I browsed it a bit and it looks like an interesting read even for
someone who basically knows D already.  Which is good, because anyone
who knows C or Java basically does already know most of D.  I liked
that about Stroustrup's book on C++, too, when I read it many moons
ago.  It had meaty examples that taught me something interesting, even
when that wasn't the main language instruction point.  For instance,
Stroustrup uses a recursive descent parser introduce some mundane
aspect of C++ -- statements, I think it was.   This book looks like it
might have some of that to it.

Anyway, thanks for the ack in the preface, Andrei!
