...and the physical copies are here

Hurrah :)

Caleb and I just went to pick up the big authors package, containing (among other interesting things) our first copies of the book. Below you can see a snapshot (thank you James!) of Caleb and I (let's see if you can tell who is who ;-)) showing off the fruit of our efforts. The quality delivered by the cam of the HTC Universal in conditions of low lights is not exactly breathtaking, but the joy definitely comes out!

And a closeup, which shows well the final cover design; the now famous tanuki, the "foreword by Kim Cameron, Architect of Identity, Microsoft" (thank you again Kim!!!), the reference to David Chappell's Independent Technology Guides series (thank you again David!!!) and naturally our names.

In case the pictures make you want to grab the same item, in the meanwhile Amazon restocked; InformIT has it as well, of course; and pretty much every online book shop we probed. Here there's a quiz for you: which online shop classified our book under the category "true crime"?

Needless to say. If you read the book and you have questions or opinions, do not hesitate to chime in. We'll jump right at it ;-)
