Delphi 2010 Handbook In Print

The printed edition of my book is now available on CreateSpace.

After officially releasing my Delphi 2010 Handbook last week, today I'm announcing the availability of the printed version of the book. It is, as for my past books, a print-on-demand version. The book is available on the CreateSpace web site (not on Lulu.com, this time) at the address:

https://www.createspace.com/3433762

If you are interested in both the PDF and printed version, consider buying the PDF first, as you'll receive a 20% discount for the printed version (the reverse is not possible, though Embarcadero should make the PDF of my book available to registered users of the Delphi 2010 and related products).

The book should take a couple of weeks to become available on Amazon (US) and other online outlets. On Amazon you might get cheaper shipping (particularly if you are in the US and buy other books along with it), although CreateSpace seems to be offering better options than Lulu.com. I'll let you know over the blog as soon as it becomes available on Amazon.

Finally, I'm investigating the option to make it available in other ebook formats, including supporting Amazon Kindle, but nothing has been decided.

Delphi 2010 Handbook In Print

Hi Marco

I've been looking at the link to the source code and saw this message 
about copyright:

 "Aside from this specific exception concerning source code, no part 
of this publication may be stored in a retrieval system, transmitted, 
or reproduced in any way, in the original or in a translated language, 
including but not limited to photocopy, photograph, magnetic, or 
other record, without the prior agreement and written permission of 
the publisher."

I'm trying to work out how I could buy a pdf version and not save it to 
my hard disc (isn't this a magnetic record). I'm not a lawyer and I 
think your books are great but I want to buy and be within the law. 
Sorry for being pedantic

Esmond,

  you are right. That limitation was meant for the 
printed version of the book, not for the PDF version. 
The "transmitted" portion still holds, but not the 
stored one, I'll update it... although it might actually 
be in the PDF, which is late to fix...

Thanks for pointing this out, not too pedantic, don't 
worry.

-Marco

Nice news and congratulations about the book.  

I'm wondering if the PDF version will be available for
all D2010 registered users or only to the users who
buy the license in a yet to coming offering?

I hope it's for all registered users, so I'll get my
own copy "for free" :-D

Best regards!!
