I just wanted to chime in and say that I think this book is fabulous. I 
read a large part of it about a year ago, and am thrilled to see it 
getting such a substantial update. While the Boost documentation is 
usually more than enough to get started, your book does an excellent job 
of filling in the gaps when it comes to how a certain library might be 
used in practice, things to be aware of etc. Even though the book is 
free to read online, I'll order it at some point just to support the 
project.

Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,
