The designer, Samo 'Xype' Korosec, and myself have been busy producing a new book the past weeks. It's one of the inheritances of the NaN company, a major project a lot of people have put time in. It was finished and to be published early this year... but that didn't happen.
It's the perfect companion for the 2.0 Guide, covering almost everything that has been added since 2.03. Plus, it's an excellent book for people to learn Blender as well.
Needless to say, this will be the BF 'donation campaign' for this winter. Check it out, and buy one! Then I can put more time in the coding projects and website here...
yay i'm goona get that. why is it in blender 2.24 and not 2.25? and if u say "not all people have 2.25" then why not put that on thet cd that comes with it?

The games have been fully tested with 2.23 and 2.24 but not 2.25 - 2.25 is rumored to have some problems with Python or the physics engine (don't remember which). If you want all the people to enjoy a product, you better make sure it works
I think there should be an edition of the book for those who already own the Blender 2.0 guide, without the basic intorduction - this is a waste of paper and it makes the book more expensive!

and printing an entirely different copy isn't a waste of time and money?

The basic introduction is really short compared to the rest of the book + the game functionality reference. But it has to be there because else people would feel totally ripped off - "What?! I bought this book only to find out I have to buy another one?!"
As for waste of paper - generally the thicker the book the less one page costs you - so the price difference might not be as critical as you might think. You can also check it at a local copy shop - those usually demand less per copy if you make 50 or 100 of them, than what they demand for just a few ones.
