ModSecurity Handbook shipping soon!

It's been an adventurous journey, but we are nearing a major milestone: the official publication of our first book! We've just received a batch of ModSecurity Handbook paperbacks and we're enjoying them in all their glory. Two further batches are on their way to our warehouses (one in the US and one in the UK), from where they will be shipped to early adopters. (If you're one of the early adopters, you will soon get an email from us with more information.)
Our work is nowhere near the end, however, because now we need to focus on reaching out to the book's audience and inform them that the book exists.
If you haven't purchased the book yet, now would be a very good time: because the official publication date is the 15th, we'll be maintaining the pre-order discount for a little while longer. You only have about 4-5 days to take advantage of the 25% discount. Buy now!
