vSphere Book News

Monday, June 22, 2009 in Virtualization by slowe | 8 comments

There’s good news on the book front. My book, Mastering VMware vSphere 4, is into the production phase. All the writing is complete, edits are complete or very nearly complete, and things are winding down. It’s been a crazy road, but one that I’m glad I took. So what’s the good news? The book will be available at VMworld!

Yes, that’s right—you’ll be able to buy Mastering VMware vSphere 4 at VMworld 2009 in San Francisco at the conference bookstore. I’m sure that also means there will be a book signing (by yours truly, of course!), although the details for that have not yet been determined.

But that’s not all, I have more good news! If you can’t wait until VMworld to order your copy, you can pre-order your copy via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders. In addition, if you use the code D3A7V3V you should be able to get 20% of the book at Barnes & Noble. I had an online coupon for Borders, too, but it expired. Sorry.

So, if you haven’t already pre-ordered your copy, feel free to use one of the links above, or you can wait and pick up your copy in San Francisco at the VMworld 2009 conference bookstore.

    Scott, I know how it feels to be at the stage you are in when writing a book. Congrats on the book… now relax and enjoy! Nice work getting it done before the VMworld show.

    Do you know when the book will be shipping from the online retailers? I’d like to crack it open ASAP. If it’ll be around the same time as VMWorld, I’ll just wait and pick it up there.

    I believe the estimated ship date is 9/1. You might as well buy it at VMworld, but be aware that quantities at VMworld are likely to be more limited.

    I pre-ordered your book from Amazon; will I get it before the VmWorld release?

    I can’t really say. Right now Amazon is showing 9/8 for the release date, but the publisher is saying that date has actually been moved up. I would say it will be very close.

    I now have mine preordered and hope that your publisher is on point. Amazon looks to have August 31, 2009 listed on the site right now. That will get it here just in time for some quality reading during the sleepless nights when my son gets here early Sept. No VMWorld for me this year so this will be my ‘fix’.

    Looking forward to reading it Scott. Congrats!

    Hi.

    Great to learn that it’s finished.
    Now I’m going to see if I can get in Sweden :-)

    Really looking forward to reading it.

    Best Regards Matz
