I got my copies of the book, the rest went to the warehouse. We'll start shipping this week I imagine. Looks like the lay-flat binding is doing it's job. The lay-flat binding cost an extra 26 cents per book if you're wondering how badly you're getting screwed by big publishers.

Deployed a minor (admin-side) bug fix and a copy change for Lorepub.com

I need to do a pre-flight check but the main remaining items are pulling a database snapshot to piece together the database migration (a lot changed to support physical sales), testing the coupon generation against that local snapshot, and then pushing out migrations and coupons.

Logistics integration seems to be working. If things go according to plan the pre-sale of the print version of @haskellbook will be available by the end of March. Keep in mind it's a pre-sale: this is so I know how many books to print off. Books may not ship for 2-3 months.

Everyone that bought Haskell Book while it was in early access gets an automatic 50% off coupon. It'll apply automatically, you won't need to do anything. If you don't have a coupon and believe you should you can email me at [email protected]

Anyway pre-sale is coming soon. In terms of programming, I'd like to get a head start on the fulfillment integration work. I'd also like to write a blog post explaining the reason for the pre-sale.

Basically: I'd like to know how many print copies to order for the initial sales and a pre-sale helps me do that and to pay for the print run.

Haskell Book people: does this make sense to y'all? I'm gonna call the printer next week to get a new estimate and make sure everything's in order. (This isn't live, this is from my local dev version of Lorepub's e-commerce app.)

anyway as a result he is joining me for today's programming session working on @lorepub's stock tracking & management the gist is there and I have the physical bundle disabling when it's out of stock I need to add enforcement at the cart and purchase level, then admin mgmt.

You don't need to get anything to get your coupon for a discounted copy of the print book if you bought the ebook in early access! I have a database of all the purchases. I'll be using that data to copy licenses over to Lorepub and to generate & email coupons automatically.

Haskell Programming from First Principles has had its final release for the first edition. I'll be working on the print version and @Lorepub now. Anyone that bought the e-book Jan 27 2020 (today) or earlier will get a 50% off coupon for the print version if/when it's available.
