Just bought your JavaScript-Mancy bundle and I'm really enjoying the format and style that you have done especially with using magic as a way to convey concepts; It makes for a very interesting read without missing the point of the concepts!

I can't wait to get this book! Definitely will try to get a physical copy!

Oh that is gold. That's exactly the whimsical feeling I want to get with this book and other books of the JavaScript-mancy series. How didn't I think of Terry Pratchett?? It's the perfect inspiration. I must dive into his books right away. I've only read The Colour of Magic and that was aaaages ago.

I like the images, such as the Basic Motion Keys. The Basic Motion Keys image is whimsical and informative. I like both whimsy and information.

I encourage more of that!

Got it and it's currently leading on my 1-position reading list! (I always choose only the next book that I'm going to read, never further than that.)

Awesome!!!! Be aware though that the book right now is an incomplete collection of rough drafts. I'm working quickly to have a final draft of the book asap but the artwork and reviewing always take infinite time. :D

Hi Jonathan. You can find it in your leanpub library. Once in the library, click on wizards use vim and you'll see the option. I find the pdf more pleasant to read but with the online version you don't need to download anything 🙂
