Help Spread the word about The Java Cookbook
Being a late comer to the Java Book party
(even though I was one of the first to download the Alpha version
of Java in 1995), my book starts off well behind the others in sales.
If you liked the book, you can help by
- Telling your friends, colleagues, manager, librarian:
If you tell one person a week about it,
in a year there'll be 50 or so new fans!
(But don't tell the same person about it 50 times :-))
- Writing a review:
- Rate those reviews! There's one review on Amazon that is
rather negative, and it's written by a "frequent" reviewer.
Given that Amazon's software does not prevent you from voting more
than once(!) and given that his review has hugely more votes than
any other, and did have from the time it appeared, I wonder whether
he may have simply voted himself into glory! If you like my book,
you could vote for some of the favorable reviews...
- Ask for it in bookstores! If you are in a computer bookstore, or the
computer section of a larger bookstore, and they don't have copies on
display, ask about it! "Have you got the Java Cookbook? I've heard
it's good :-) and I'd like to take a look at it." ...
If you didn't like the book, I'd appreciate it if you
would mail me and let me know the problems you had with it
so they can be corrected.
Thank you!
