Borders show it has to be ordered but Amazon says they have it but  
don’t show any reviews so what exactly is the true availability of the  
second edition?

I have had mine in hand, preordered from Pragmantic as a bundle with  
PDF, for about a week.

Hi Robert, book reviews doesn’t equate to availability. I know that  
[pragmaticprogrammer.com](http://pragmaticprogrammer.com) shipped preorders on Dec. 18th. Also, I know  
that the book wasn’t on the shelves of my local CA booksellers (i.e.  
Borders and Barns & Noble). Thus, if you’re looking to purchase this  
gem, I would recommend getting the combo set (i.e. book + pdf) from  
[pragmaticprogrammer.com](http://pragmaticprogrammer.com).

Good luck and Happy Holidays,
