There’s 3 bad reviews about it, complaining about formatting. 3 copies sold?

Generally I don't think a book about our website is useful ... Has the book
ever sold?

If we do keep it, we should definitely update it.

However I am inclined to remove it, I am not sure how easy it would be
to keep it up to date with our releases. If need be we could figure
out a mechanism to generate epubs as well as other formats during our
build process and just publish it on our website.

I guess the one advantage about publishing it to Amazon is that they
would automagically update downstream clients.

Hey folks,

the Buildr website mentions the Buildr book:
https://www.amazon.com/Buildr/dp/1442160942/ 


Would you like to keep a link from the official site to the book? Should we 
create a second edition with the latest material?

Cheers,

Antoine
