Programming WPF: Sold Out @ the PDC, More Coming
All of the initial copies of Programming the Windows Presentation Foundation have been sold out at the PDC. That's a double edged sword, of course. On the one hand, it's nice that so many people wanted a copy that they were gone by the time I got to see the remaining display copy on Tuesday after lunch. On the other hand, I want the publisher to have provided enough copies to feed a longer buying frenzy.
The good news is that another, larger shipment of the book will be available @ the PDC in the Marketplace store Thursday afternoon. Please form a line in an orderly fashion and keep the sleeping bags out of the normal aisle of traffic. : )
Or, feel free to purchase one online (or two -- XMas is coming up!).

Chris, I felt the same way. I've been checking the store every day as I really wanted a copy of this book and Ian had announced in London that it would be available at PDC. The bookstore said they would like more copies as they'd only had a few which had sold almost immediately. They suggested I contact O'Reilly directly.
O'Reilly actually had a copy on their stand but refused to sell it. However they assured me that the PDC bookstore would be getting a large delivery tomorrow (Thursday) and the bookstore confirmed this earlier today. They've let me pre-reserver my copy for when they arrive, so if anybody else is as keen as me to get a copy of the book I suggest they contact the store tomorrow and pre-reserve their copy or if it's arrived grab a copy off the shelf.

Hope there are no folding chairs in the area. ;)
