Visual Studio Hacks Available

Today I received my complementary copy of James Avery's Visual Studio Hacks book, of which I contributed a handful of chapters.  I assume that this means that the book is now available, although Amazon.com lists its availability as June 30, 2005, which is odd since it lets me add it to my shopping cart....

Anywho, if you use Visual Studio in any sort of manner, I'm confident you'll find a number of tips, hints, and gems in this book for improving your productivity and enjoyability in the IDE.  So go buy a copy already.  Or you can check out the book's companion site first, before buying: http://www.visualstudiohacks.com/

My copy shipped today... but here's what's strange about Amazon.com...

Last Monday, the site showed that the book was not yet available, but could be pre-ordered. Then on Friday, I went through <a href="http://www.visualstudiohacks.com" target="_blank">www.VisualStudioHacks.com</a>'s link to amazon.com, and it showed that the book was available and usually ships in 1 day... so I ordered a copy.

Today, I checked the order status, and it said, "estimated ship date: July 1, 2005". Then about 2 hours later, I got an email stating that my order had shipped.

Eager to see what tricks the book shows for hacking the vbproj and sln files...
