It should sort itself out soon, I hope.

I'm rather hoping you will sell out your print run, actually. :) But to pile in with everybody else, congratulations!

It's print-on-demand so selling out should be hard, but I welcome any attempts to overwhelm the system. :)

Pretty easy, it uses Java and C and didn't use any "exclusive features" of them

How about external libs?

The code in the book deliberately uses no external dependencies. You'll be fine. :)

Author 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: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2021/07/29/640-pages-in-15...

I really like the hand-drawn diagrams in the sample PDF! Are the actually hand-drawn or stylized SVG?

Your book was great; I learned a ton going through it. Congratulations on getting it to print!

Thank you so much for everything you have put out. The execution is always beautiful, the content is solid, licensing/pricing model is great, and the meta info about the layout/setup/journey is equally enjoyable.

As the saying goes, your books spark joy. Thank you.

OT: Do I need to purchase the pdf separately if I purchase the print book?

As soon as I got the release email I came here to check if this had been posted to HN; it’s an incredible piece of work, and I highly recommend it. It sweeps away much of the mystery behind programming language internals in a clear, easy-to-follow, humorous way.

I worked through the first half of the online book recently, and am excited to buy the print version and work through the rest of it. I can’t get over dead trees, and as fun as it was using the free online version (thanks munificent!), the paperback version will be even better.
