I bought the Pragmatic Ajax book (<a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ajax/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ajax/</a> ) last year and I've received updated PDFs every couple of months. You can also buy "combo packs" which include PDFs while it's still in-progress, and a hardcopy once it's actually published. It's a pretty good way to get an early release of a book, especially on topics that change so quickly such as Ajax.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-662">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> The Pragmatic Programmers have a similar “beta book” program where you can buy a PDF version of a book before it’s published on paper.
