Pretty simple formula.
(Your Increased Hourly Bill Rate * Hours between now and when (better
said "if") a new title is released) - (Price of MK XSLT 2.0 Book +
Price of MK XPath 2.0 Book) = Enough to justify buying it a second
time round if the need such arises.
I stood in line for 18 hours (<-lie) and got the very first title
every printed (<--bigger lie) and have been a much better human being
ever since (ummmm.... is smarter the same as better? If yes <-- truth,
no <-- half truth)

This question is for Michael Kay !
I already have Michael Kay's book "XSLT 1.0 2nd Edition, Programmer's
Reference". Its a wonderful book. It won't be flattering to say that
Its a Bible of XSLT.
I have to buy Michael's latest books - XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 . But I
am doubtful about the timing.. Should I buy it now? Or should I wait
till XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0 become W3C Recommendations. There may be
chances that some language features may change from now till it
becomes Recommendation.
What is Michael's strategy to incorporate the final language(i.e. in
Recommendation form) in his XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 books. Would be
publish an errata which will be free for the now buyers? Or would he
publish an altogether new edition, which we have to buy again?
But I would say, releasing a book at this stage is a good decision, as
it will spark interest in XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0 ..
