I've been wanting to get the developer's book for BYOND, and after being away for half a year I go to the order screen.......and see it's dimes only, and deposits have been cancelled......SO how would we be able to get the book?

But thats not the same, as others have said, it just isnt a replacement. I believe dantom are working on a paypal system right now. I bet they would let you mail them a check. Just email them at [email protected] and ask them.

While the Blue Book is nice, it's gotten pretty old so Dan and Tom have sort of moved away from it (I can't even find a link to it anymore). As part of this, the whole thing is available online for free. Read about it here: [link]

Actually I believe they pretty much sold out of them.

Hopefully someday it will be in print again someday -- it's really an excellent and gentle introduction to the language.

If anyone calls you a geek just tell them they are a runtime error that needs to be debugged!
