Sorry for the delay in announcing it - I was waiting for the book to physically arrive in my hands, which it hasn't done so, yet. (I have a copy pre-ordered with Amazon and since that's the way most people will be receiving the acquiring the book, I imagine, I wanted to make sure it was actually, physically, being distributed before I announced it.)
I plan on writing up a full blog post once I have my copy of the book.
I assume you mean having the book physically shipped to Sri Lanka is not feasible/possible. Consider buying the ebook from Manning directly [0]. They do offer the ebook in Kindle (mobi) format.
Once there's a pdf or other ebook available it'll be pirated. How that doesn't damage sales I'll never understand.
The Lazarus (object pascal ide) book is only available in a physical book format for this reason.
In another life I wrote technical books, which at the time were only available in physical formats. That didn't stop electronic versions of the more popular books from appearing on usenet.
That's a good read. It's hard to understand the motivation of someone who's prepared to put in that many hours pirating a single book. It's seems a bit pathetic
