Dear all,
Has anyone read the draft of the book "Mastering Ethereum" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Gavin Wood?
If so, what are your impressions? Is it worth reading or should I wait for the official release of the book?
And as a side question, has anyone tried to compile the book from AsciiDoc format to PDF/EPUB/etc? Have you experienced any issues and how have you solved them?
Thank you,

An additional comment: it is quite easy to convert the Ascii doc into the HTML format using asciidoctor.
Installation instruction is here:
https://asciidoctor.org/docs/install-toolchain/
One large HTML file is created, which could then be converted into Epub/PDF or other formats.
(using for example Calibre: https://calibre-ebook.com/)

I have never read it, can you provide a link that I get references to read about this ......

Some thoughts after reading the first chapters of the book. I will post new thoughts and ideas after I finish reading the next chapters of the book. Probably these thoughts and summary will be useful for someone who is thinking whether it is worth spending time on reading this book.

1) What is Ethereum?
This chapter is a relatively good brief introduction of the Ethereum development.
How and why the idea was created, and who was behind the development.
Notes:
It is worth a quick read, especially for those who are not very well familiar with with topic.
Also, if you understand very good Bitcoin technology, this chapter is worth reading to quickly understand the differences between the two.

2)  Ethereum Basics.
This chapter provides some details about the technology, such as currency used, most popular wallets, different Ethereum networks (test and main), how to get test ether for testing the technology in the test network and how to create and rollout a basic Ethereum contract in the test network.
Notes:
The same as above.

That's an interesting news. The cryptocurrency market needs more stable coins for getting mass adopted. The new coin Gemini dollar claims to offer all the facilities that the stable coin tether could not provide.

The book seems very interesting and is worth a look . But you should wait for the official release of the book to avoid any hiccups or anything of that sort if you're realling looking to delve into the information they have compiled. I don't think a book could be a gateway to actually mastering in trading and dealing in a complex form of currency like crypto. But it could provide good insight regardless.

"I'm getting that book because it's written by Andreas ... so the book is suppose to be
technical, not for beginners.

"Everytime i listen to his talks on bitcoin blockchain I develop a new and broader
perspective of this wonderful technology.I think this book will be a great help for people
and organisation to develop applications on ethereum.

"Mastering Bitcoin is an awesome book. I like it much because it's very helpful for me.
Looking forward to the Ethereum version!

"Mastering etherium is very helpful to know about cryptocurrency.It has a vast information about etherium. Even we can say that Ethereum has created a massive decentralized computing platform that many people are calling a ""world computer"".

Mastering Ethereum is a book for developers. it's provide better service and its offering a guide to the operation and it also use of the Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, RootStock (RSK). that's why it is more useful.

Maybe it's a book to master the coding and network that is developed by Ethereum.
I can only say I'm a Ethereum trader at Binance and Bitrex.
