For those of you who may not know (I'm guessing you know if you're on the ZBB, I just happened to stumble across it on zompist.com),

Zompist's Language Construction Kit is now available as a book.

Apparently it's got a whole lot of extra stuff that the web version doesn't have - it's four times as long.

I'm considering getting it, if only as reference material. What do people thing - is it a good use of $15, or would it probably be full of stuff any experienced conlanger already knows?

I suspect it's worth it. I plan to get it as soon as I can afford it, unless someone tells me not to before then.

Looks interesting. The Kit was very helpful when I was first getting started. I just need to give my finances a chance to recover after Spring Break!

I got it. It's pretty awesome. A lot of it is stuff I know, and a lot of it is either stuff I didn't know/didn't think about, or stuff I need to be reminded of.

I'm enjoying reading through it.
