Original Post: The Rails book enters third printing

Feed Description: All about the full-stack, web-framework Rails for Ruby and on putting it to good effect with Basecamp
Agile Web Development with Rails has been available on paper less than a month, but is already entering its third printing. And it wasn't like we gave it a baby run on neither the first nor the second go.
Hopefully that'll take the book out of its perpetual "Usually ships within 2 to 3 weeks" on Amazon and give us some of that "Usually ships in 24 hours" loving. It's no wonder, though. Amazon is currently ranking it as #83 on the most popular books list (and #7 in the computer department).
Needless to say, it's intensely satisfying to see a book carrying your name on the spine slam dunk in sales. Hopefully this will set the precedence for all the Rails books to come. Thanks once more to everyone that bought the book and helped send a strong signal to the world that Rails is real.
