Subject: Re: [ANN] Programming Ruby available for pre-order

I'm really happy to see that there will be a PDF version of the book
available. I've been looking to replace more and more of my programming
books with digital copies, and this will be a wonderful addition to the
set. My girlfriend will particularly thank you for making room on the
shelf for her books :-)

Thanks so much,

Brian Wisti
