There are some advantages to you to buy directly from the Prags.  For
one, your purchase gets registered, something which they can't do for
books you purchased elsewhere.  That convinced me to buy any further
PragProg books directly.

Why not just go for the beta program now, you get the PDF version
right away, updated as available, and the paper copy when that's
available as well.   While I prefer to have a physical book, I also
really like to have the pdf available on my laptop.
