I get Linux Format magazine on subscription so I get it very very early. 
This was advertised in it and I ordered it on-line within two hours of 
my receiving it. After two weeks I phoned and asked where it was. It 
seems they were out of stock and were expecting the second consignment 
in 'soon'. I got it last week. It is very good and I would think it a 
good beginners guide to programming. It is all mono as far as I can see, 
but that's ok with me. But I haven't started it yet. Only just got the 
ubuntu loaded in VB.

Methinks the advert was a finger-in-the-air trial and print numbers were 
held until the interest was assessed and funding was in. Apparently it 
is selling like hot cakes. Glad I've got mine.
