Some feedback - I had a quick skim through the pdf version of the book. I don't know to what extent the generation of the pdf is in your hands.

Page 12: 'function definitioin'. Page 19: Opportunity for introducing 'with' statement. Page 28: 'Python doesnâ€TMt', amusingly in a paragraph discussing character encoding. Page 31: Broken table. Page 38: 'frame â€”'. Page 52: 'Hey I dont see' - opportunity for escaped apostrophe.

Cheers for pointing those out

Is is over?

Suggestion: put a link to your book - as long as there's a free readable version to read online - on http://hackershelf.com.

unfortunately it is over now. will keep that link and definitely use it at the give away just before the final release

And also on - http://hackr.io

Worked for me. Thank you! I'll post some feedback, after I read it of course. :)

Described at 40% complete and the transaction would not complete at $0.00 on Leanpub.

that may be a leanpub one off error

It's not an intuitive interface, but it works -- use the slider to slide the price downward to zero. It's a variable-pricing model with varying payout to the author.

(I'm not criticizing the pricing model, I'm just saying the free-purchase method wasn't obvious to me, either, at first.)

I bet you'd get more ultimate conversions if you stated that full-price purchasers would be granted the full book upon completion (and correction/minor update versions as well).

Thank You! I'll leave feedback once I finish!
