My book was released less than a week ago. Copies
are probably just getting to physical bookstores as
we speak. I just got a stack (direct from O'Reilly)
today.

I think Ben's right: buy 'em both. But of course
I'm biased.

And hey, thanks to whoever it was that posted to
Slashdot about the book. My Amazon sales rank
rocketed up to 117 on Wednesday morning, and
O'Reilly's web server had record traffic in a single hour.

Can either book be found at major physical bookstores yet?  (I know that

I think the point here is that they're different.  You should choose the
one that best suits your purposes.  I'll be getting both of them.  :)

*If* I could only buy one MindStorms book, which is better, Dave Baum's or Jonathan Knudsen's? Does anyone have both and can compare them? --The WordMeister Doug Wilcox WordSmith Digital Document Services 403 VFW Drive Rockland, MA 02370 (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
