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? ;-))
