I finally have it in my hands!

As Geoff described it, "its... purple". The cover changed from this to this, much to my surprise. So my companion Web site doesn't reflect the changed cover yet. Oh well. After reading about the Appian Way (the image on the cover), I like the cover more.

I managed to keep it nice and concise (O'Reilly size you might say), and it has a nice scent to it that I think readers will enjoy. Just put your nose between the pages and take a deep breath.

I also found out I am speaking at OSCON this past week, so it has been a pretty good week overall. :-) Maybe I'll see some of you there.


purple?

It's not very purple on bookpool.

It's out of stock but I'll try and remember to buy a copy when it comes back in. Congratulations on getting published!

Yeah, that's the old cover. Even the picture on Amazon fails to adequately represent its purple glory. :-)

Thanks for the congratulatory note. I appreciate it.

Intriguing. The first cover design is a Sams one; the second a New Riders. Curious.
