Wish it was a ploy! It's a mistake, which my editor and I joked about

Yes, I got it :)  My assertion was not serious as well.

"Buy within the next hour, and we'll send you a second TDPL ABSOLUTELY  
FREE!! (+$49.95 S+H)"

I hope at least you get royalties for those, even though your name isn't  
on the front cover :)

Most assuredly, unless you're outside of the US. The publisher is trying 
to avoid sending any copy outside the States so as to not confuse 
foreign markets. I think I should try to actually convince my editor to 
not do that.

I got my collectors edition from Amazon US a few days ago.
I browsed it a bit and it looks like an interesting read even for
someone who basically knows D already.  Which is good, because anyone
who knows C or Java basically does already know most of D.  I liked
that about Stroustrup's book on C++, too, when I read it many moons
ago.  It had meaty examples that taught me something interesting, even
when that wasn't the main language instruction point.  For instance,
Stroustrup uses a recursive descent parser introduce some mundane
aspect of C++ -- statements, I think it was.   This book looks like it
might have some of that to it.

Anyway, thanks for the ack in the preface, Andrei!

I received my collector's edition yesterday, and I'm telling you, with 
all this hype, it had better be worth something in 40 years' time. ;)  I 
got it just in time, too.  I'm going to Canada for a conference tomorrow, 
and it'll be perfect reading material during the long flight across the 
Atlantic. 

I've read the first two chapters already, and I have to say it's a 
thoroughly enjoyable read.  The examples are good, the colloquial style 
makes the material more interesting (as if it wasn't interesting to begin 
with!), and the rapid-fire puns are delivered in style. ;)  Well done!
