The Pylons Book
The Definitive Guide to Pylons by James Gardner has now been published and is available worldwide from all good bookshops including Amazon. It can also be purchased for the Kindle or in e-book format.
Thank you to all who contributed feedback, I hope you find it a useful resource.
If you prefer not to purchase the hard copy you can read an HTML version for free at the Pylons Book website at http://pylonsbook.com/. The reStructuredText source code is also linked from each chapter so that you can build your own copies of the book or submit source code patches.
Since the book is available under the open source GFDL with no invariant sections or cover texts it should be possible to include it with Linux distributions such as Debian. If you are a packager for Debian or other distributions and would like to package the book for inclusion into your distribution's repositories please get in touch with the author who would be happy to help you.
Happy reading!

I don't know James's schedule for publishing them to the web; he seems to be working on content instead at this point. The ongoing changes to Pylons are forcing more updates to the book than expected; this may account for the delay.
