Today, as expected, I received the proof copy of the paperback version of Photographer’s Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100 II from the printer.  The proof looks fine, and so I have approved the book for production.

The book will start showing up with a listing at Amazon.com within the next few days. At first, it will probably be listed as being out of stock or unavailable, then as shipping within 1-3 weeks or something of that sort, and then, maybe within a week or so, as shipping within 24 hours.

For now, in response to some requests from people who wanted to pre-order the paperback version, I have listed the book for sale on eBay on a pre-order basis.  If you purchase a copy there, I will ship it as soon as I receive a shipment of copies from the printer.  I ordered them today, and my copies should arrive here within about a week.  The price of the book is $25.95. This is higher than the price of the RX100 book; the reason for that is that the RX100 II book is considerably longer.  The new book has 455 pages, while the RX100 book has 378.  The printing costs for a full-color book like this are quite high.  It may be that Amazon.com will offer the book at a discount at some point, but I have no control over the price that Amazon charges.
