I saw on twitter today the org mode 8 manual is available on Amazon
today: http://www.amazon.com/dp/9881327709/. It looks like it covers Org 8.2.

I'm surprised by the change of publisher¹ and fact that there is no
reference to this edition on orgmode.org. . .

So if it's not referenced by orgmode.org, it means it was community
made?

This is almost certainly a literally a printed version of the already available open source org manual.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Looks like a new publisher publishing an updated version of the manual.
I'm wondering if it complies with the GFDL. When the number of manuals
produced is geater than 100, the publisher is required to distribute the
source too[1]. I do not see any media included with the manual, although
maybe it is possible to point to a web url in the book.
