The Goldfish Chronicles

This may have been happening for a while, but I just noticed that the O’Reilly Eclipse book is published on Safari before it is marked as available at Amazon.

Usually books seemed to take a little while to appear on Safari, and Amazon often seemed to be about the first group to get print books. Hard to tell from this end of the wire, but such prompt releases help to increase the benefit of Safari.

One thing that O’Reilly, and many others, do seem odd on is that Amazon will have a page up before O’Reilly do. O’Reilly’s forthcoming (someday) JUnit book is one such book. Amazon even have a picture. O’Reilly don’t seem to mention it as existing.
