It has been a long time since I bought a hardcopy programming book. Alternate forms of documentation and a Safari subscription have replaced these semi-frequent purchases. And although I can't argue against the practicality and economics of this new way, it certainly evokes none of the excitement of getting the new language book home, cracking the binding, and spending the rest of the evening curled up on the couch.

Go has been my most used new language and the timing of this book is good. I'm looking forward to adding it to my (real) bookshelf.
