+
+The Erlanger Playbook is an upcoming book written by
+Loïc Hoguin, author of Cowboy, Ranch, Gun, Erlang.mk
+and other Erlang/OTP projects. It provides a general
+exploration of Erlang/OTP; advice on writing Erlang
+code, writing tests and documentation and provide
+other Erlang-related insights.
+
+In the _Erlang_ section of the book, we learn about
+the building blocks of the Erlang language; we introspect
+a running Erlang/OTP system to understand how it functions;
+we learn about behaviors by writing our own `gen_server`
+and `supervisor` modules; we explore `gen_statem`; and
+we build and discuss process regitries and process groups.
+
+In the _Code_ section of the book we learn how to
+start a project; we discuss version control, project
+structure, code style and best practices; we
+delve into various technical topics such as the
+"enter loop" mechanism, special processes, IOLists
+and the process dictionary; and we discuss how to
+deal with compilation warnings across Erlang/OTP
+versions.
+
+In the _Tests_ section we cover success typing analysis,
+manual testing, unit testing and functional testing; we
+also learn what to do about timeouts when testing an
+application and how to write client/server tests.
+
+In the _Documentation_ section we gain insight on
+how to write better tutorials, user guides, manuals
+and README files.
+
+The _Design_ section covers public interfaces, REST
+APIs and other lessons learned. The _Workflow_ and
+_Selling Erlang_ sections end this book with short,
+non-technical advice.
+
+The book is roughly:
+
+* 80 pages for the _Erlang_ section
+* 60 pages for the _Code_ section
+* 70 pages for the _Tests_ section
+* 20 pages for the _Documentation_ section
+* 20 pages for the _Design_ section
+* 10 pages for the final two sections
+
+You may currently buy lifetime access to the book's
+git repository. This lifetime access will give you
+access to the pre-release builds and to any future
+release of the book.
+
+The plan is to continue to add content to this book
+for a long time after its initial release, and to
+occasionally produce a proper edition of the book.
+The _First Edition_ will feature the same content as
+is currently available in the most recent pre-release
+build. The _First Edition_ will be released after an
+editing pass has been done.
+
+The _First Edition_ and any subsequent editions
+will be available both as an ebook and on a
+print-on-demand service. It will be possible to buy
+the _First Edition_ at a price lower than the lifetime
+access, though the price remains to be determined.
+
+Buyers of the lifetime access of the book will
+receive all releases and pre-releases as ebook
+versions. A coupon code will also be provided on
+demand for those that want to print the book. The
+coupon will reduce the price to the printing
+costs (you do not have to buy the content twice).
+
+The lifetime access costs 50€ (EUR) and may be
+bought using Paypal:
