+
+I am very happy to say that just last week I have put the finishing touches
+on Nim in Action. The final manuscript has been submitted to Manning (the book's
+publisher), and the printed version is expected to start shipping in March
+2017 (give or take 1 month).
+
+The eBook is still available and now contains all of the book's chapters,
+including new ones dealing with the foreign function interface and
+metaprogramming.
+That said, it may still take some time before the eBook is updated with the
+latest corrections.
+
+I am incredibly thankful to everyone that purchased the book already. Many of
+you have also given me a lot of `brilliant <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1978>`_
+`feedback <https://forums.manning.com/forums/nim-in-action>`_,
+thank you very much for
+taking the time to do so. I have done my best to act on this
+feedback and I hope you will agree that the book has risen in quality as a
+result.
+
+Writing this book has been both exhausting and incredible at the same time.
+I look forward
+to having a physical copy of it in my hands, and I'm sure many of you do as
+well. I can safely say that without your support this book would not have
+happened, even if you did not purchase a copy your interest in Nim has made it
+possible and I thank you for that.
+
+As always, you can make a purchase on
+`Manning's website <https://manning.com/books/nim-in-action?a_aid=niminaction&a_bid=78a27e81>`_.
+Both eBook's and printed books are available, and purchasing a printed book will
+get you an eBook for free.
+You can now also pre-order Nim in Action on
+`Amazon <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nim-Action-Dominik-Picheta/dp/1617293431/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479663850&sr=8-1&keywords=nim+in+action>`_!
+
+If you would like updates about the book then please feel free to
+follow either `myself <https://twitter.com/d0m96>`_ or
+`@nim_lang <https://twitter.com/nim_lang>`_ on Twitter. Finally, if you have any
+questions, do get in touch via `Twitter, NimForum,
+IRC or Gitter <http://nim-lang.org/community.html>`_.
+
+Thanks for reading!
