I published my book back last December and the sales generally met my expectations. I’d planned an updated edition for this summer, but that now appear to more likely be coming sometime in September. Life just got too busy from May through now and some things had to be pushed back. There are some updates to layout and organization to better explain some topics, error corrections, and perhaps most significantly larger photos. I’ll post an update here when the second edition is ready and it will be freely available to anyone who purchased the book either from Amazon or directly from me.
For now though I am trying an experiment. I’ve enrolled the book with Amazon’s Kindle Direct Select program which makes it currently available only through Amazon’s store for the Kindle. I’ve sold more books through Amazon than all other sources combined, and significantly so since about February so this seems the best place for this experiment. This means two things. First if you are a member of Amazon Prime you can borrow the book as part of the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library program for no charge. This give you full access to the book similar to borrowing a library book.
In addition I’ll be making the book available for free at least one time later this month to see the effect. I’ll announce those on the blog and Twitter on the day they are available so follow this blog or follow me on Twitter to be notified.
