When self-publishing you face a couple of challenges and one of those is to get your books available in bookstores and at events. Frank managed to get our book available at VMworld and it will be sold at the VMworld Bookstore. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet this will be your chance to do so and you might even be able to get it signed at the show! (We are considering a book signing session if people are interested, reply here if you are!) Be warned, as far as we know it will be the only vSphere 5.0 book available at VMworld so we are expecting that it will sell out fairly quick.
Book
Black & White version currently $ 21.56 on amazon
Someone just notified me through a comment on this blog that Amazon currently has the book on sale for $ 21.56. This is the black&white edition of vSphere 5 Clustering Technical Deepdive and can be found here. Just wanted to let you guys know so you could benefit from the $ 8.5 discount. There are 6 reviews and ratings currently, if you feel like it and already finished it help us out and post a review and rating as a self-published book we can use all the help we can get.
Paperback editions finally available of vSphere 5 Clustering Tech Deepdive
I guess Amazon and Createspace had enough of getting those phone calls three or four times from Frank every day since Tuesday as magically the book popped up on Amazon overnight. It took a while and our apologies for that, here are the links to all three books:
Amazon:
eBook (Kindle) โ $ 9.99
Black & White Paperback โ $ 29.95
Full Color Paperback โ $ 49.95
I hope you guys will enjoy it. Frank and I are considering to do a book signing at VMworld, let me know if that is something you would be interested in!
Thanks!!
** Update: Available now: paperback full |paperback black & white **
I’ve seen a lot of crazy things, but when I clicked the amazon link for our book yesterday I literally jumped up and started cheering… Number 1 in “Computers & Internet”. These are the kind of things that make it all worth it! PS: We asked amazon/createspace to get the printed copy up asap and they are looking in to it as it should have been ready by now.
Win a signed copy of “Cloud Computing with VMware vCloud Director”
Book #24, As you hopefully know about a month ago my latest publication was released titled “Cloud Computing with VMware vCloud Director“. When I was visiting Palo Alto a week ago I met up with one of the co-authors and vCloud Security Expert Michael Haines. Michael managed to get a stack of books signed by the author of the foreword, Paul Maritz. Luckily he managed to get 3 of my books signed by Paul Maritz as well. Of course I will hold on to one of those copies myself, but I want to offer all of you the opportunity to win a signed copy by Paul Maritz.
So if you want to win a copy, comment on this post and let me know what cloud computing means to you… that is all you need to do. I will contact 2 randomly picked winners on the 8th of June and announce their names in this article.
Randomly picked winners (thanks to my daughter for assisting me in randomly picking :-)): Adam, Mark
