Any update on the book?

I had the honor of editing Abe’s book. (hint, he’s really quite a good writer) Frank asks why Abe’s book has disappeared from our “New & Upcomming Books” page. Truth is, I don’t know, yet, but I’m working to find out. We’ve a lot of books in production right now. Probably some overworked soul just mis-edited the page.

The book is still on track though. Let me assure you of that. I just today reviewed the first cover mechanical (an image showing the front, back, and spine). The book should go to print very soon.

I’m glad you all like cover. It was designed, I believe, by one Mike Kohnke. He did a fantastic job picking one of the most appropriate cover images that I’ve ever seen.

I want a t-shirt too :-)

Is there any reason why your book has been removed from the ‘New & Upcoming Titles’ section on the O’Reilly website? It was definitely there a couple of weeks ago.

I always liked O’Reilly’s covers, but this one has additional coolness: it quite represents Twisted! I can see this and think ‘oh, it has to do with a python framework’…

Tell me how many of you saw the one with a camel (in fact a dromedary) and thougt ‘ohh… this one is about…’.

Best regards, Abe.
