I bought the EA1 edition through Foyles bookstore. Unfortunately the EA1 edition is massively out of sync with the current FCS version of the software, and the Cd didn't contain the examples (or at least not where the book said they were).
So I ended up downloading the examples. The build.xml files in the download are laughably different from the book, and several steps need to be taken which the book mentions nothing of.
It's a major shame since the book looked very good. But I completely wasted my £38 and have wound up using the (confusing) online tutorial.
Apparently a FCS version of the book is coming out in several months. Wait for it. Assuming that they haven't changed version yet again it should be a good book. Right now it is a waste of money.
