sure.

> Don't you mean 02/2002? My copy says first printing January 2002. 

it was published in late january.  I preordered a copy for myself from
amazon, just to see when it was _really_ available, and it came the first
week of february.

Sams have actually been great.  but the way this industry works, you just
can't sell a book that isn't already selling.

anyway, I didn't want to make this about our book in particular.  but when I
hear about people who _still_ think that mod_perl is some CGI interface I
get really bothered, since there is so much out there (books, articles,
documentation, conference talks, etc) that tell the real story but that
people consistently overlook.
