Thank you for doing that.

On a related note, the paper version of the book is in proofing stage: I 
have just ordered a print copy for proofing. (I don't expect any major 
problem as what they print is the same as the pdf copy.) It should hit 
Amazon soon.

I am also trying to determine the price for the paper copy. 
Unfortunately, the threshold price for standard distribution channels 
came out to be a little over $17, which is almost the same as what I was 
hoping to sell for. Adding extended distribution channels pushes the 
threshold price to over $25. :(

What is a fare price for that book, considering that HTML and PDF 
versions will always be free anyway?

I have started considering drastic changes to reduce the page count by

- making the font smaller (currently 10pt)

- reducing the margins

- removing the exercise solutions from the book (currently 50 pages)

none of which makes me happy because I've spent a long time on deciding 
all of that. :-/ I am still sleeping them over.
