Just as fast.  *Reading* it will take a bit longer... ;-)

Folks, if you *have* a local independent bookseller, and
would like to keep them around, please buy your high-ticket
tech books from them!  I enjoy going in and browsing the
new stuff they get, often seeing books it would never
occur to me to search for on the Web.  If they go under, 
because Amazon.com and Borders and their ilk get all our 
high-priced business, how long do you suppose the small
independent *publishers*, like Wrox, will last in the
resulting market?  Hint: many have already closed...
