#2Author here! It feels amazing to have this done and live. I'm happy to talk about whatever you might want to know about it. If you're curious how the sausage was made, I wrote a blog post about taking the web book and bringing it to print and ebook here:

#3I love Crafting Interpreters, excited to see it in print! I might just buy a copy to support the author, the illustrations do make it coffee table-worthy.

Congrats! Been following you for a while and just finished the blog post...what a huge effort and meticulous attention to detail. I can't wait to buy the book so I can continue to procrastinate reading the full thing in print instead of on my computer monitor

Congratulations on completing this long journey. I just bought a copy, mostly to reward your effort, but also to satisfy my curiosity on an aspect of how the PDF sausage was made. I notice that the PDF version of the book doesn't include the semantic tags required for accessibility. Now, please don't take this as a criticism; I know that people (like me) who use a screen reader or other accessibility tool can go with the EPUB or online version. But, I wonder, did you consciously decide to turn off tagged PDF, or were you just going with the default in InDesign? Thanks!

Personally, I find that I procrastinate so much more effectively in print than on a screen. Being able to hold the material in my hands... and yet still failing to actually do so, really makes a difference.

Thank you! It looks really nice in person, if I do say so myself. It's so cool to see the illustrations in full crisp 600 DPI.

I did not. I did export an interactive PDF from InDesign and took care to make sure that the table of contents and internal links work, but I have zero experience in PDF accessibility. I'll take a look into it and see what I can figure out.
