But for those on a tight budget, the difference betwen the $37 Pragmatic 
Programmers' (plus $4.50 for shipping) and Amazon's $24.40 (with 
free "Super Saver" shipping available) is a bit hard to ignore. In 
fact, Amazon's paper book price is virtually identical to the Pragmatic 
PDF price!

I'm not sure why, but Amazon.com is still listing the book as available 
only for pre-order. Is Pragmatic holding out??


People considering the PDF version should probably first read 
<http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/starter_kit/faqs/pdf_faq.html> (if 
they haven't already). The only real caveat is that even though the PDF 
itself does not (attempt to) prevent printing (only Adobe's Reader 
honors the content that encodes that restriction--other PDF viewing 
software does not), the formatting is not the same as that of a printed 
book and active hyperlinks (a good and useful thing) are just 
distractions when they appear on paper.

One way or the other, I will.
