It's available in paperback, DRM-free PDF, and for Kindle, Apple Books, and most e-book platforms. Also available via special order through most bookstores.
The fourth edition is a major revision, and incorporates the many updates now live on TkDocs. You'll find improvements in every topic, and tons of new material (nearly a 40% higher page count than the previous edition).

TkDocs gets thousands of visitors every day, all looking for accurate and up-to-date information. Without the modest revenue from Modern Tkinter, I wouldn't be able to devote the substantial time needed to maintain, improve, and expand this site. Your support makes a big difference. Thank you!
