My (preordered) copy came with a little "surprise" folded into the book. 
Stapled together:  a packing slip for 40 copies and an invoice for 57
copies.

Once I recovered enough to read, I noted that the packing slip and invoice
were O'Reilly shipping to and invoicing Amazon.  I felt much better then. 
(Or was this Amazon attempting to improve quarterly results?  ;-))
