Congratulations on the new book.

I just received my copy and published my satisfied-customer-pic here:

How should I proceed to get the audio?

Thanks for all and congrats again!

Hi! I think you bought a course, not only a PDF. The course contains the PDF, but it also contains an audio version, several hours of video with exercises, over $100 in discounts for various useful products and, since you bought it during the launch week, other free offers (LinqApp and digital poster packages). Those things are not included in the print edition! This is only the text. If you didn’t make use of the other parts of the course, they’re still there!

Thanks for the response and the link.

You can’t at the moment! I need to figure out how to distribute it before that happens. However, the audio version is likely to be more expensive than the paperback, so getting that one and then the audio book should be okay? Otherwise I’ll see what I can do.

Hi,

It’s hard to quantify how long time it took because the book was rewritten a few times. I would estimate it took perhaps 500 hours or so of actual writing. This doesn’t include all the work invested in coming up with some of the content, of course (all the stuff on the website). Since I have a fairly large following, it wasn’t very difficult to find people willing to proof read the book. It’s been through this twice, plus one audio recording which removed a few errors. The audio recording took about 50 hours to do (it’s also been proof listened). If you want to write your own book, make sure you have a clear plan and structure before you start. Make it very clear what problem you want to solve for people and how to do it. Ask for feedback early. Also check out Lean Pub.

Hope this helps!

Don’t worry about the deadline. What if you try to buy the book directly from Create Space? Try this link. If that doesn’t work, I’ve enabled something called Extended Distribution Channels, which might include Amazon.cn, but it takes a few weeks (up to four they say) for that to propagate. I’m not 100% sure that will work, though. In any case, don’t worry about deadlines.

yeah I also live in China and I would prefer a different retailer too. I have already bought the ebook but I really want the audio book and paperback too. Will you find another retailer within the April timeframe?
