Well, it can if we send you the money and you buy it for us.

Looks great, Mark.  Thanks for all the effort and hard work.  Big thanks to 
your team as well.  Cheers, Christine

Subject: PDML Book is live online and available for purchase



Cut to the chase: http://www.blurb.com/my/book/detail/2098910
;-)

Bonuses:
If you order today and enter the code "GMA" (must be all upper-case
letters) in the discount code box during checkout you'll get a 25%
discount!

If you buy the "hardcover with dust jacket" version of the book (not
the "ImageWrap") you get bonus photos on the inner flaps of the dust
jacket, one by Rick Womer and one by Carl Gjersem.

More information:
I want to express my appreciation to all who donated to the book
promotional fund. Most people contributed $5.00 and we got $340.00
total. With the 10% volume discount and the 25% GMA discount (yes,
Blurb allowed both discounts) I was able to order a dozen books for
the price of 10, including shipping costs. I think there's even a bit
left over in the kitty to allow me postage money for sending *out*
review copies when I get them.

I'm looking for suggestions/ideas for promotion. Print magazine
reviews are pretty much out of the question: They already get more
review samples than they have time for and we'd be just an tiny fish
in a big sea (unless we can get someone on the inside to help - anyone
owed any favors by low people in high places?)

I'm also offering the ebook version on line for $6.00 through my own
web site at the moment. I've worked out a deal to offer it through the
Apple iTunes store through one of their official distributors, but I
won't be able to finish the paperwork and details until the end of the
semester - things are getting busy now.

Have at it!

Done!  Ordered the hard cover with dust jacket.

The GMA code doesn't seem to work outside the USA.  When I tried I got
two error messages:

* Sorry, this promotion cannot be be applied to books you did not
author.
* Sorry, the promotion code you entered isn't available in your selected
currency. Make sure you've selected the right currency.

So I changed the currency to $US, which got rid of the second message
but I was still stuck with the first.

No matter!  Looking forward to its arrival.



Got the "books you did not author" error message in the USA as well.

Ordered Softcover & Hardcover, Dust Jacket.

Just got my epub version, it is splendid!
You guys managed to produce and impressive collection of photos.
And Mark managed to create an excellent coherent book.
I was impressed by two previous books but this one is a huge leap forward!
HUGE kudos to Mark.
Btw, I am using http://bookworm.oreilly.com to read the book in browser.

I just finished reviewing the eBook verson of the 2011 PDML Book.  It
is simply spectacular.  The images are even better than those in the
first two books, as hard as that is to imagine.  The book itself is
much more polished and sophisticate.  I simply love it!

Congratulations and thanks, Mark, for a superb creation.  Thanks also
to Doug, Scott and Bill for their parts in the grand production.

I can't wait until I get my hands on the hard copy of the book.

The CAN$ coupon worked fine.  Ordered 1 hardcover and 2 paperbacks.

the PDML list signature follows that convention. But 'tis a convention
more honored in the breach these days, so when you find yourself
stripping signatures by hand, it may be because the sender's software

For me, GMail seems to take everything after the two dashes and space
delimiter and hides it, leaving, in its place, the message " Show
quoted text -".  If I click on that message, it restores what it hid
(usually only signatures).

I couldn't find anything specific to Netscape 7, but Thunderbird (as
of 2008) stripped off anything after a proper signature delimiter,
with no way to change that behavior:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=623725&start=0

Note that a proper delimiter consists of two hyphens and a space, and
the PDML list signature follows that convention. But 'tis a convention
more honored in the breach these days, so when you find yourself
stripping signatures by hand, it may be because the sender's software
does not use the proper delimiter.

The standard is actually two hyphens and a space ("-- \n"). The PDML

that's exactly it; two hyphens is a standard (actually borrowed from

I don't think it is stripping out anything below a sig line in the mail

I have one good friend who uses gmail and am always annoyed taht when I 
get mail from her
in response to something I wrote  all I get is her response - which is 
very problimatical and I have to go
back to my original mail and copy and paste it in to read it while I'm 
writing - having totally forgotten what I said.


example -  I write - I'll meet you at the corner of 5th and 34th at noon

I'm in for two imagewraps. My $45 Groupon code from the other day
worked, but that's no longer available to anyone who didn't buy in at
the Groupon site a couple of days ago.

The following codes SHOULD still work, on purchases of 2 or more books
through April 27. I wasn't able to test them, because they didn't
combine with my Groupon code.

USD $ coupon: BLURBMOM
GBP £ coupon: BLURBMOM1
EUR € coupon: BLURBMOM2

That's disappointing but not surprising, I suppose. "GMA" stands for
"Good Morning America" a morning television program over here.

Plugged at Facebook. Twisting my mind for other realistic options.

BTW, is there a list somewhere, saying what pictures that are _in_?

Done!  Ordered the hard cover with dust jacket.

The GMA code doesn't seem to work outside the USA.  When I tried I got
two error messages:

* Sorry, this promotion cannot be be applied to books you did not
author.
* Sorry, the promotion code you entered isn't available in your selected
currency. Make sure you've selected the right currency.

So I changed the currency to $US, which got rid of the second message
but I was still stuck with the first.

No matter!  Looking forward to its arrival.

Cheers

Brian

PDML Book is live online and available for purchase

Bonuses:
If you order today and enter the code "GMA" (must be all upper-case
letters) in the discount code box during checkout you'll get a 25%
discount! 

If you buy the "hardcover with dust jacket" version of the book (not
the "ImageWrap") you get bonus photos on the inner flaps of the dust
jacket, one by Rick Womer and one by Carl Gjersem.

More information:
I want to express my appreciation to all who donated to the book
promotional fund. Most people contributed $5.00 and we got $340.00
total. With the 10% volume discount and the 25% GMA discount (yes,
Blurb allowed both discounts) I was able to order a dozen books for
the price of 10, including shipping costs. I think there's even a bit
left over in the kitty to allow me postage money for sending *out*
review copies when I get them.

I'm looking for suggestions/ideas for promotion. Print magazine
reviews are pretty much out of the question: They already get more
review samples than they have time for and we'd be just an tiny fish
in a big sea (unless we can get someone on the inside to help - anyone
owed any favors by low people in high places?)

I'm also offering the ebook version on line for $6.00 through my own
web site at the moment. I've worked out a deal to offer it through the
Apple iTunes store through one of their official distributors, but I
won't be able to finish the paperwork and details until the end of the
semester - things are getting busy now.
