I bought the E-Book for the last edition via Manning. Paying works fine, but accessing content has been a really crappy experience.

The book itself had the particularly annoying section 13 that caters to certain fads (DSLs and Java bashing, pseudo-philosophical musings about functional programming). I hope this juvenile drivel will be left out in the new edition; if I want to read content-less feel-good articles, there is no shortage of free content.

I remember that the sections on namespaces and destructuring have been really nice.
