Yes; worth doing.

Both dead-tree and PDF versions will be available for purchase.

The book is really good. Bigger than the first edition. Covers more
stuff.

Copies will be available, I believe, by the time of the Ruby conf. in
Virginia, USA, 1 October 2004.

Books in what language(s)? Japanese? English? German? As far as
German and English is concerned take a look at the FAQ.
