Well that is good news to hear.  I think a lot of people will find it much
easier to learn Dylan from a book than from trying to decipher the DIRM
and the few code examples that are available.  Also the average person
will probably take Dylan more seriously and be more likely to put in the
time required to become proficient in Dylan if there is a book out there. 

Hope those books make it to the market soon.
