My new book Perl Template Toolkit[1] recently appeared on O’Reilly’s web site. This is one of my favourite parts of the publication process as it proves to the outside world that the book is real. The other parts I really like are when I first get my hands on a copy of the book and when I first see the book in a bookshop.
Things I’m sure I’d enjoy even more, but have never seen are someone browsing my book in a book shop and (even better) someone buying it.
[1] I say “my new book”, but it’s important to point out that I’m only one of three co-authors.
