The Art of Scalability Update

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

It just dawned on me that we haven’t updated the status of The Art of Scalability on our blog recently.  Fish and I have been frequently providing updates via Facebook (Marty, Fish), LinkedIn (Marty, Fish) and Twitter (Marty, Fish) but we haven’t done anything on the blog.

Amazon just updated their image with the final book cover.  Major changes are a quote on the front cover and the mention of Bob Davis’ very well written foreword.

We just completed reviewing the final copies of the chapters, the index, and all of the administrative pages of the book.  The publisher has given us a “binding” (binding of the books – not a “contractual” binding) date of December 22d and suggested that the book will ship to stores before the end of December.   Two more milestones to go and those are seeing the book in bookstores and signing copies for friends!

The Art of Scalability is available for pre-order at your favorite site.

Our book is still on track for an early to mid January 2010 hard launch.  We have completed roughly 1/3d of the copy editing process, having gone through the final round of editing on 11 chapters so far.  The book is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Borders.  You can also pre-order the book from the publisher, Addison-Wesley as well as get early web-access or pdf access to the pre-copy edited book.

Fish and I are discussing different options for signing books that clients and readers of our blog and newsletter purchase.  If you are interested, simply comment/respond to this post and we’ll work on logistics.
