Following last week's of The Complete Friday Q&A: Volume I, I had requests for additional formats. Some asked for PDF, some asked for paper, and some asked for ePub that could be bought without the geographical restrictions of iBooks. I am happy to report that these are all available.
International-friendly sales of the book in ePub and PDF format are now available through FastSpring. One purchase gets you both formats, DRM-free.
Print-on-demand is available from Lulu. The price is slightly higher to help cover printing costs.
Thanks again for everyone's support. The response has been tremendously heartening to watch. I'll be back on my regular schedule next week, so check back then.
(If anyone purchased through Amazon or iBooks and you feel like you got a raw deal missing out on the PDF, e-mail me and I'll hook you up. Tell me what the last word in the book is as a shibboleth.)
Comments:
In the meantime, both iBooks and Amazon offer free samples so you can at least check those out.
We would like to publish your book in Russian language. What do you think about it?
Symbol-Plus Publishing is one of the leading Russian publishing company specializing in IT-technologies books. Our company was founded in 1995 in Saint-Petersburg (Russia).
We are translating titles by O'Reilly, Pearson (Addison-Wesley, New Riders, Prentice Hall, Peachpit Press, Sams, Adobe Press, Cisco, FT Press), Wiley, Apress, Manning, No Starch Press, Elsevier, Packt, McGraw-Hill, Dorset House, and the number of our partners grows from year to year.
In 1996, just 10 months after Amazon.com, we opened the first Russian on-line bookstore – Books.Ru (www.books.ru), that is now one of the biggest on-line stores in Russia. Books.Ru sells most of the books published in Russian, though it helps us to promote and sell our own titles as well.
We are translating the titles on programming (Python, Perl, Ruby, SQL, UML, Java, JavaScript, PHP, C++, C#, ActionScript and others), operating systems (Mac OS X, UNIX, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD), databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), various frameworks, and also world bestsellers, similar to the book of the Fr. Brooks "The Mythical Man-Month".
