The AF100 Book is done, in stock, and shipping now. I'm setting up a distribution system to make it easier for people to be able to order, get it quicker, and not have to pay high shipping or import fees.
For USA residents: you get a copy free, if you buy an AF100 from an authorized USA Panasonic dealer. For the first batch, there's a redemption coupon in the box. Please fill it out and mail it back (it's already pre-stamped even!) and your book will ship the same day. For all cameras made as of January 2011 and later, the book is actually packaged inside the box. This is a promotion being run by Panasonic USA; Jan is buying books and including them in the box. No other territory has yet decided to run a similar promotion; if you want your country to offer it, you'd have to contact your division of Panasonic and request them to do so.
For European residents: the official distributor in the EU is Holdan Limited. Holdan distributes to about 350 retail stores in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, etc. For EU residents, you'd do yourself a big favor to order from Holdan or one of their divisions, because when I ship from the USA it can take up to three weeks to arrive in Europe, and sometimes your country imposes import taxes/duties. Holdan can ship with 1-day or 2-day delivery across the EU, with no taxes or duties to worry about. To contact Holdan and find a dealer near you, visit this link. EU residents can also order it from http://www.amazon.co.uk/AF100-Book-...B9T2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297289750&sr=8-1. Amazon.co.uk will distribute to many countries throughout Europe and in fact throughout the world; you can find the complete list here.
For Canadian residents, the book will be available in authorized Panasonic dealers across the country.
I'm working on getting distribution in Australia and New Zealand now.
For other countries, or for US residents who didn't buy a camera or got one from somewhere other than an authorized USA retailer, you can order directly from Amazon, and it's even eligible for free Super-Saver shipping.
Thanks to everyone who's expressed interest, and I hope these distribution arrangements make it such that you can get the product earlier, less expensive, and without customs or duties complications.
Also, for those interested, Nigel Cooper of www.DVUser.co.uk has just posted a nice review.
