I just made an order on amazon for the book! Unfortunately i'll have
to wait for 2-3 weeks for it. I'm by the way a huge fan of you, andy,
and daniel moth! I'm looking forward to reading the book! Cheers!

For those who are planning to order it from Germany:
The price at amazon.com is about 53$ (approximate 39 EUR - incl. shipping)
instead of 70 EUR at amazon.de.
Even if there will be some customs, you can save some money.

I was at the MSDN Roadshow in London the other day and it was on sale there I
had a quick flip through - all I can say is good work guys. I would of bought
a copy but I'd already bought a copy of WPF and WCF from apress - will have
to empty my piggy box! ;)
