I think books for some new language being available is also an
important factor. It tells people that some language has already
received some attention and an investment in that new language is
less likely to be in vain.

I remember that Scala received a lot of attention in my Java
community when the Scala book by Martin Odersky was published.
Last week Dart went 1.0. You can already now buy 4 books about
it, one from a renowned author such as Gilad Braha.

I think the book about D by Andrei was very important and it
would be a good thing if during the years more books about D
would follow.
