Fellow Revolutionaries:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF ANNOUNCEMENT
I know you're busy like me so I don't want to force you to wade through
six paragraphs to get to the bottom-line message. Here are the highlights
of this announcement:
* Shafer Media is now selling an updated version of my Vol. 1 "Software
at the Speed of Thought" as a SmartEBook (electronic form, other goodies
included, self-updating)
* All of my Rev books will be released as SmartEBooks, effective
immediately.
* While they last, printed copies of the old Vol. 1 are available through
my store (http://www.shafermediastore.com/tech_main.html) for $24.95 +
shipping & handling, a savings of $12.05 over the old price.
Now here's the deathless prose for those inclined to indulge:
========================================================================
======================================
While a formal announcement will be released on Tuesday, I wanted to give
the amazing members of this iist a heads-up about some exciting news
concerning the publication of my ongoing series of books about
Revolution.
RunRev and my company, Shafer Media, have agreed that Shafer Media will
become the official press of Revolution and assume responsibility for
publishing, marketing, and distribution of the current and future titles
in my "Software at the Speed of Thought" series, effective immediately.
At the same time, Shafer Media is announcing a new, revised and slightly
expanded version of the first volume in what was once planned as a
three-volume set of books. The new edition of that volume is now
available in electronic form only from http://
www.shafermediastore.com/tech_main.html. Over 100 corrections and
clarifications have been made in this new release in response to feedback
from dozens of readers. This eBook is available through the Shafer Media
Store right now for Windows and OSX for $29.95. (An OS 9 version may
happen if we can resolve some technical glitches.)
Not only that (I'm starting to sound like a Ginzu knife salesman here, I
know, but there's lots to say), all of these eBooks -- including the two
released topical eBooks on Rev as a CGI and Rev Custom Properties -- are
being delivered using innovative new SmartEBooks(tm) technology. For you
as a reader, this means that the eBooks will keep themselves current
automatically when you open them, just like software does. It also means
many SmartEBooks will consist not only of PDF files but also of
accompanying audio video, text, and software code files (source and/or
binary) in a single downloadable package. For example, Volume 1 of the
Rev series, when delivered as a SmartEBook, has all of the major sample
stacks and laboratory exercises included as Rev stacks you can run,
tweak, take apart, play with, and learn from.
RunRev will continue to sell the book as a SmartEBook via their site
store. All other titles in the series will be available only through the
Shafer Media Store (http://www.shafermediastore.com).
What about printed books, you ask? Well, we still have a limited number
of copies of the print edition avaialble for sale. They, of course, do
not have the additions and corrections I made in the second edition being
released today as a SmartEBook. We plan to offer a print-on-demand
solution for those who want a hard copy of the second edition but we are
still searching for a reliable, affordable outlet for that product. Stay
tuned for another announcement soon. Meanwhile, I'm dropping the price on
the remaining printed copies from $37 to $24.95 plus shipping & handling
while supplies last, which probably won't be long.
