    So I'm getting demand for a paper version...

    Well I got lucky. Word imported the HTML and did something reasonable with it, so I'll be able to generate the PDF the paper version needs in relatively short order - maybe as early as Sunday.

    More to follow.

    I saw that on the other forum, I'd prefer the paper version as well. I haven't had a chance to buy the book on Amazon yet after getting confused and saying "fuck it" yesterday, lol

    OK, I just pulled the trigger on the approval process. It takes up to 72 hours for Amazon to process it.

    Pricing... I tried to keep it in the same ballpark as the Ross Bentley series, as size-wise it is very similar. Unfortunately, because I wanted colour illustrations instead of B&W / greyscale, printing costs were higher than the RB cover price.

    So the cheapest I could go was $29.99. At that rate I make less per book than the Kindle version. *shrug*. To make the same as the Kindle, it would have to be ~$36 and I don't think people will pay that.

    So I guess we'll see.

    I caught a couple of additional typos while editing the print version. Those changes will be rolled out into the Kindle version and it will auto-update once I get them done.

    I got my book in the mail last week (but I was headed to Toledo for the Pro, so this is a bit delayed...) and it looks awesome! Some of the shock dyno charts could use a bit more contrast, but everything is legible and the way the formatting came out it looks like it was meant to be!

    Cool!

    Any chance that could become an Amazon review?
