Amiga Guru Book 2nd Edition petition

[nicholas]

Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the online petition:

   "Amiga Guru Book publication"

hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:

   http://www.petitiononline.com/4m1ga123/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too.  If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself.

Best wishes,

Nicholas

If you don't know what this is about you don't need to know.

Humm...

Unfortunately, the release of the 800-page extended edition of the Amiga Guru Book (covering OS 3.x and beyond) scheduled for April 2008 was preempted by some fool seeding a scan of the older version into one of those pirate-to-pirate networks, eliminating all hopes of me ever being able to recover the cost of a reprint, so the project had to be stopped immediately to avoid further loss of time and money. Thank you, Keith.

Hence why:

To:  Ralph Babel

I would be interested in purchasing at least one copy of Ralph Babel's  Amiga Guru book (http://www.iol.ie/~ecarroll/gurubook.html) in English  language form, despite the existence of a pirated pdf copy on the  Internet.
 
Sincerely,
 The Undersigned

Right... well... don't need another copy, and a reprint of the second edition seems silly if an extended edition could be made available.

Some of us don't have a printed copy and would like one.

I have both - the german 1st edition and the english 2nd edition of the guru book. 1 was a reprint and 2 was a very expensive item on eBay.
It´s a really good book, but don´t expect too much from it. I value the CATS documentation (Commodore Amiga Reference Series, Addison Wesley) more than the Guru Book.

I have the complete series of RKRM's 1st, 2nd and 3rd Editions but none of the CATS stuff.

I rate Ralph's book above the RKRM's in some aspects (Not that I've downloaded the torrent one must understand. )

Upload pdf to lulu.com, set price, link to a paypal account or cheque to mailed, sit back and watch the cash flow in, job done. Total time on the part of an author? About 20 mins, of which 10 mins would be making a cuppa.
