Exciting :D

good stuff :)

i need a hard copy

Hi @paulmeek87, we are in the process of getting a paperback version ready for publishing. Hopefully will be done in a month or two. Hope that helps.

Will purchasers of the book get a hard copy sent to them when it’s published?

same as hansenk asked. will we get a hard copy? thanks a bunch!

I read the FAQ, no we will not. Will have to purchase a hard copy separately.

Yep that’s correct. When the paperback version is released it will be a separate purchase from Amazon or your favorite local book store.

Very impressed so far!:)

How much will the hard copy of the book be? Is there a discount for those who’ve already purchased the early access? I’d like to review it as a possible book to use in one of my classes next year.

Pricing for the hard copy will depend on our printing costs and I will try to have some kind of discount available for early access customers who got the digital version. So stay tuned for further announcements on the email newsletter :)

The first step should really be to download the book files. When I went to Start Here > Learning Path each Chapter opens the product page asking me to buy the book again. Not very intuitive for a brand new user.

Any updates on the status of the hardcopy?

COVID-19 pushed us back a little on the paperback version (no point in launching it now as it would take several weeks to deliver). But we’re currently applying the finishing touches on the content and will soon wrap up the early access phase with a full release of the ebook version. Paperback will come out this summer, I can’t wait to hold it in my hands!

Hi Dan,

I guess I didn’t read the fine print. I prefer a paperback version. Is their any way I can change my purchase to apply against a Paper/Hardback when it comes out?

There is a one year money back guarantee @siegelmtx

Can I get the hard copy of the book, and does it come with my subscription, its really difficult for me to read from the laptop because my eyes condition.

Hi @ahmedbaobaid10. We don’t have hard copies available yet. Hopefully those will be available in a few months.

As far as coming with your subscription goes, the book does not come included with your subscription. It is a separate product.

Hi there. I am pretty new here in programming. I just purchase the book but i want paperback one. So I am looking forward the book releaseing.I hope those all will help me to become developer of python which is I am very passionate about. Thanks

Great book. I’ve been waiting for the hardcopy for ages.

I did not find anything about Threading in the book, did I miss out something? Thanks!

Thank you!

Is there a hard-copy version of this book?

@gjaram In fact, there is 😉 You can also check out a few other paperback books made at Real Python:
