Old Book, New Book

By -

I have two pieces of interesting news I’d like to share, both of them relating to books.

First of all, I have dramatically chopped the price of my most recent book, Silicon Valley Babble On. I have reduced the price of the color version from $79.95 to $59.95 (25%) and I’ve chopped down the black and white version from $39.95 to $19.95 (50%).

I’ve basically cut my royalty to the absolute bone in order to sell more books, because I want people to read it. I think it’s good stuff, and I’d rather have more readers than a little more cash in the bank. Here is the link to the color version, and here is the link to the black and white version.

The other item I wanted to mention is that I’m working on a book about SlopeCharts. I’ll have a very rough cut of it soon, and I want people who are willing to READ it, MARK any errors or suggestions, and then mail it back to me.

I initially was going to ask people to pay a few bucks to help with the cost, but you’re doing me the favor, so I won’t ask for a penny. If you can make a commitment to doing this, and you are a user or at least a person interested in SlopeCharts, please email me with your mailing address. Thank you! (more…)
