My (preordered) copy came with a little "surprise" folded into the book.
Stapled together: a packing slip for 40 copies and an invoice for 57
copies.

Once I recovered enough to read, I noted that the packing slip and invoice
were O'Reilly shipping to and invoicing Amazon. I felt much better then.
(Or was this Amazon attempting to improve quarterly results? ;-))

It gets a little better: the book (and Python)
made amazon.com's home page today. It showed
up in a paragraph titled "Mighty Python", along
with Sarah McLachlan's new CD.

Technically, it was about her new book, with links to
her "upcoming" CD. Try not to be too disappointed ;-).
