First spotting of the pfSense book…
We have been announcing the upcoming pfSense book already multiple times here on the blog. Here’s a quick update for all those waiting to finally buy it: It’s almost done!
As you can see from the information on the publishers site it only needs some finishing touches and even the first preview print has been produced.
Stay tuned, we’re almost there!

Very nice, I can’t wait!
I assume there will be a 2nd revision in another year or so after pfsense 2.0 comes out?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
can you comment on how detailed the traffic shaping portion of the book will be?
setting up pfsense for me was never really an issue, though i am never quite sure if i have the traffic shaping setup the way i want.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Really nice! Can´t wait to get my hands on one of those
September 4th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Yesssss. Looking forward to it!
September 5th, 2009 at 6:04 am

September 13th, 2009 at 12:03 am
It’ll be available worldwide from Amazon and Barnes & Noble at a minimum, amongst others possibly, not sure.
It will be available for purchase electronically via at least one means, possibly two. Details on that to come.

Where is the book ??? The publisher site says “Publishing Date: September 2009″ … Now it is September !!!
September 15th, 2009 at 11:25 am
DevAuto: September isn’t over yet.
It’s going off to print very soon.
September 15th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Probably in time for the EuroBSDCon 2009, September 18-20?
September 15th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Belthazar: I’m heading out for EuroBSDCon right now, and will be putting my last touches on it in airports and planes today.
September 15th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Enjoy Chris, hope it goes well. So then we will have to wait, as you said “September is not over as yet”.
September 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Hey Chris, enjoy EuroBSDCon! Wish I were going too … I will try to be patient and wait for the book
September 19th, 2009 at 12:31 am
its great, I would like have this book ASAP.
September 24th, 2009 at 6:05 am
Less than a week now…???
When I check the sites amazon and Barnes & noble for coming soon or do a search on pfsense books nothing can be found.
Strange !
September 24th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I think it may not show up on Amazon and other sites until they have them in stock and shipping, I’ll add a new post here as soon as it’s available for ordering.

October 1st, 2009 at 5:32 am
I’m brand new to pfSense and think that this book will be a huge help. I can’t wait!
October 6th, 2009 at 1:46 am

October 6th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Will be ready for Christmas?
October 7th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Great, finally a book! The definitive guide! I like this name, makes remember other great books from O’Reilly!
.
I want to buy it! Where can i find it?
October 13th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
I have searched amazon and barnes & noble and the book isn’t available yet. Any word on when it will be available? I very much look forward to diving head first into it!
Thanks for publishing such a book. BTW, what skill level were you targeting when you authored the book?
October 15th, 2009 at 11:39 am
need this book badly……
it this book for free???
October 15th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
JoE: No it’s not free. Some portions of it are on doc.pfsense.org but not a lot.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Hi Chris
I know you have had a lot of requests regarding the release of the long awaited book. Is it possible to give us an update on the release of the book?
October 17th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Hi Chris,
I like the general topics present in your book. Congratulations! I sugest that your next book talk about developement in pfsense, because the on-line documentation is poor and the programmers need a complete guide to develop and contribute with the project. It can help the project to receive more contributions and expand the community.
Thank you for your greate job!
I love pfsense.

And it’s off to the printer on Monday, finally! Not sure how long it takes to get printed and get to booksellers, but we’ll have a new post up here when it’s available for purchase. I don’t think there will be a pre-order available.
October 19th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Cool!
November 1st, 2009 at 3:42 am
The first round of books are printed and on their way to Amazon and Barnes & Noble. They will be available for order “any day now”, exact day not known yet.
November 1st, 2009 at 6:58 am
Hi Chris, this is excellent news.
November 1st, 2009 at 9:33 am
finally our patience rewarded !!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Just placed my order on Amazon… yeah!!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Yeah now it’s showing up, thanks for the heads up Belthazar. I told Jim a couple days ago that we would probably hear from someone else about it being available before we saw it ourselves.
