That's a point that I appreciate and respect. Alas, the book won't be open source. Given the remarkable amount of time I'm pouring into it I like to think that is can be considered the "missing Puppet book", with plenty of topics are hardly faced in existing books. Anyway, this is definitively a biased opinion. If you are nevertheless interested in giving it a look before it goes to print, let me know. I'm truly impressed by the amount of mistakes you've been able to find out from a book that has already been scrutinised by various other reviewers and I'm pretty sure you'd find various of them also on mine.
