Agreed. The pricing is ridiculous. $79 for an ebook, git repositories (which should be on GitHub in the first place!), and a few Bootstrap themes (many of which are open source) is laughable. There's no way in hell I'm buying this, which is a shame, since I'm in the middle of redesigning my personal website to use Bootstrap 3.

Hey, the git repositories are there to avoid to copy-paste from the PDF (which is an awful experience) the source code of Part 2. The bootstrap themes are nowhere to be found because I wrote them for the book and as an example for those starters the book is aimed at. And for the first day the price is $59, which people seem to be happy with so far :) Also, there's the book without the extras, if you think it could be useful to you... but I sense you are not a starter, now are you?

  "but I sense you are not a starter, now are you?" What the hell is that supposed to mean?

    School british english with a bit of fantasy slang. I'm sorry. Rephrasing: "but from what I can read, I guess you are not a newbie with Bootstrap nor frontend design (so the book is not for you)"

      "I guess you are not a newbie with Bootstrap nor frontend design" Your guess is wrong. If you had put the repositories and themes up on GitHub and dropped the price of the book to $20, I would have glanced at the ToC and most likely bought it.

  Also, you do realize that if people do buy the $79 package that includes the Git repositories, then it's only a matter of time until the repositories end up on GitHub (or SourceForge or Bitbucket, etc), right?

    Yeah, I just believe in people. Not that I'm going to sue them or stuff.
