What is the ISBN of this book? I am interested in it, too.
-
If the editor authorizes, this book should be translated into Portuguese by the end of the year.
-
Atr last, and thank goodness!! I've wanted a book like this for months, ever since I first discovered Lazarus. I will order it immediately! (Though why are programming books always so expensive! :-( )
Thanks for posting the news.

Is there any chance to get the book in PDF format? I'm very interested, but I guess there is no shipping to my country.
I'm from Mexico.
Best regards.

I'm about to ask the same question regarding shipping issue for a specific country if its not available. PDF format as what japegamx suggest would be great.
-
Japegamx, pauls55, the best way to get answers on these questions is to send an email to the contact address on the info (http://www.blaisepascal.eu/index.php?actie=./subscribers/lazarusbookinfoEnglish) page.
-
I sent an email and they say that the PDF format is not allowed.
I'm asking by now if they can send it to Mexico... But I don't think so.
:(
-
I asked:
Yes we understand, your concern.
We would like to.
But we are not allowed to do so.
The ebook version is also not possible.
But The German counterpart does not allow us any electronic version.
So it its out of the question.
-
Thanks for sharing this information.

Hello All,
It's very unfortunate that there isn't an electronic edition of the book. Personally i can not use actual books because of an physical disability. And for others it improves ease of use. I could buy the book and scan the whole thing but that , i suspect, would be against the copyright license.
So, is there a safe way for a publisher to make an electronic version for use on a computer ? Maybe we can persuade the publishers to use such a safe (not copyable) method.

If it will be only for your own purposes and you will not distribute or share it then it is OK (at least in my country).
-
I know i can make a copy (scan) for a private copy in the Netherlands.
But scanning the book is a lot of work and an official electronic edition could make use easier for me and a lot of others.

From the German publisher:
"Publishing it as a ebook, is a waste of money and time, because a ebook is spread as a llilegal copy over the internet within one day. After two days you can't sell printed books or ebooks any more, because everybody downloads the "free" version."
-
Damn it!
I ordered a copy, my wife will kill me! :-X
-
The editors (German and Dutch) do not authorize.
-
Ordered it yesterday, got it today! And it's a great book!
Thanks to all the writers of the book. They did a fantastic job!
Regards,
Erwin

I have got it friday. Yesterday we scanned the first pages. It's a lot of work. The open book is just a little bit bigger than the scanner plate so i have to scan page by page.

1. The price is very high for our country, India. :o
2. They are also selling a USB Stick, if not electronic version, then what it contains? :-\
I am very much in search of a book like this, of course, with a low budget. :-[

The USB Stick contains Lazarus in a portable version pre-installed with a lot of components.
-

-
I will buy this book. :) :D
Genius still survive 8)
-
I ordered it this morning.
Hope to get my hands on the book soon.
By the way, I am effectively bilingual in English and Chinese, therefore I can help to translate it to Chinese if you needs it, China market is a big market :D.
-
This is a wonderful news, I also must get this book as soon as possible. It's not the best time for me financially I must admit :(
However, this book is a must-have, and to get it now and have a USB flashdrive with Lazarus logo is priceless :D
EDIT: and I've ordered it! 8)
This is the first CS (and expensive) book I've personally bought since 1997. I believe the authors deserve to be rewarded as much as possible... So, people, go buy, buy BUY this book ;D
-
...and I got it today 8)
The book seems great, I started reading it immediately... So great to have all that Lazarus knowledge at hand ;) and in hardcopy too...
-
I received my copy late last week and have started reading it. (Skipping around quite a bit.)
Is there an errata sheet for the book available somewhere?
To whom should errors be reported? I found one minor spelling error and that prompted me to ask the above question.
-

Not really.
To whom should errors be reported?
To the author of the chapter where the error is.
-
I've ordered this book since last June 2011, but I didn't received it yet. It seems that it was lost in mail.
-
Did you try sending an e-mail to the editor?
-
My colleage at my previous job was ordered this book, I'm not sure if he e-mailed the editor about this delay or not. Unfortunately he left the company also last month.
I think I should order it again, because all links to the previous order may be lost.

Detlef D. Overbeek seems to have difficulties with his mailings management. I have ordered a subscription of Blaise Pascal magazine as PDF file and in print, however I never received the print version. I also ordered a Delphi Stamp in October 2011; On December 7th I got an enquiry that my package was returned (the street number was wrong which may be my own mistake). I replied with the correct address but I never received the hardware I have paid for, nor did I get any reply from Mr. Overbeek.
-
I recommend sending yet again an e-mail to Detlef explaining the problem.
-
Unfortunately I have no link to that e-mail. Negotiation and purchasing the book is done by my colleage which I can not access now.

But mr Overbeek probably could find this e-mail now. You should write to him and ask.

-
My packaged arrived now, thanks to Detlef Overbeek's helpful efforts.
-
I've received the book yesterday, thanks
