IDL Book Half Price!? (Frivolous Post)
type: item
description: Yikes! I jumped over to the Amazon.com site to order the third book in the Harry Turtledove alternative history series about World War II and thought I would check on the progress of my book up the charts. I wanted to see how soon Amazon.com would be offering my book at half price. Number 33,564 and climbing rapidly! Wow. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to IDL users (or how concerned I am for worldwide literacy). At this rate (the book was in the 45K range less than a week ago), I expect to be on the NY Times Best Seller list by the middle of summer. I figure this is just the sort of thing people will be taking to the beach this summer. :-) Cheers, David P.S. Let's just say the motivation of becoming a best-selling author couldn't hurt when it comes to getting this *next* book finished. :-( -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting Phone: 970-221-0438 E-Mail: davidf@dfanning.com Coyote's Guide to IDL Programming: http://www.dfanning.com/ Toll-Free IDL Book Orders: 1-888-461-0155
