Mark, that looks absolutely gorgeous. Remind me, were you going to produce a printed copy or just a PDF?

Sweet, looks great!

Looks really good Mark, I’ll definitely be buying.

Mark,

I’m looking forward to this book as well. The PDF will be nice, but how much do you think a printed color copy through LuLu would actually cost? It may be worth the price =)

Mark, sorry but I too really want a physical copy. Maybe a set Lulu run based on official requests?

I’ll definitely hold out for the printed book :D

Looks great. Already pre-ordered the pdf but when a printed copy will be available I’ll definately want that one too.

Looks great! I’m eager to get the PDF and wish some smart editor realized this must exist in a printed form.

Ooo more books to get - can’t wait on all counts - cheers :O)

Cheers for the head’s up on the new web standards book from Friends of ED, it looks like it’ll be well worth the read with such notable contributions.  It’s good to see some books which approach the topic of web design as a whole rather than just interface layout and development methodologies.  It’s on my wish list as is a printed copy of your own book.  If your five simple steps articles are anything to go by a printed copy will be a valuable resource to keep to hand.

I am definitely up for the real book Mark.

If it’s coming in at around the 30-quid mark, that seems about right - a printed book is much nicer to have, you can dip into it whenever and reading a lot of text on-screen off a PDF isn’t so great.

I’d definately buy a copy of your book!

Really looking forward to having a butchers at the finished article!

Sign me up for the printed version as well!

Your spreads are looking great Mark.

I’ve been susbribing to your feed for quite a while now and it was only a matter of time before the book came to fruition.

def need the printed copy, but as i cant wait i will also get the pdf and attempt screen-reading!

yes, a full color printed copy would be excellent to have. Please “LuLu” it Mark =)

Another Lulu request (at the risk of jumping on a bandwagon). I’ll probably end up running the PDF through the colour printer at work, but nothing beats a properly printed volume.

And thanks for the heads up about the FOE book too. Both books look excellent - can’t wait :)

"I’m going to launch two then. (but this will obviously take longer to set up) - one PDF and one for Lulu.”

You wont delay releasing the PDF will you? I’m game for instant gratification!

I had seen your single book, mini web page before, but decided not to sign up. After seeing these screens, I have decided to sign up. Can’t wait to get a copy. Good luck with the release, maybe it will encourage more people to writeand self-publish.

On a more technical note, what are you using to produce this pdf?  Indesign or just acrobat itself?

Oooh.. had no idea about Web Standards Creativity. Looks like another fantastic resource and of course I’ll have to make more room on my shelf.

Mark, I’ve been on the lookout for your book on typography since you first mentioned in a while back. I’ll be waiting for the printed version as well since I prefer a book in it’s tangible form over a digital format.

As for offsetting costs, why not poll your readers up front and collect the funds that way?

I’d buy a book (up front) at a reasonable price to support you and considering the wealth of information you’re sharing in the book, it’d be well worth it.

I can’t wait any longer. How long now till the PDF?

Thanks for letting me know about Web Standards Creativity, it looks great!

I’m in. You’ve really got my type-obsession started since that article about web-typography. So this book’s a must-buy for me I guess.

I cannot wait for you to release your book

Looks really good Mark, I’ll definitely be buying. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland
