I received my first copies of the book last week, and today (Monday) is the official shelf date. Hooray!

Marie says I'm not excited enough. So I'll say "horray" again: Hooray!

I'm pleased with the result. You can read about the book, download sample chapters, and purchase the book via links from http://conceptuary.com/bdbxml/.

If you know anybody who works with XML or databases, please mention it to them. It's technical, but has some evangelism too. It even has a section for XML beginners. Did I mention the Arrested Development easter eggs?

It wouldn't hurt to head over to Amazon.com and write me a glowing review, either. (Or at least a decent rating?)

Hooray!
