If you search for either book on the websites of any major UK bookshops (Dillons, Waterstones, Blackwells etc) they always come back "not found". I appreciate that publishing books is not the main business of WC/BSDi and so setting up international distribution may be difficult and/or expensive but is it not possible to come to an arrangement with another publisher with established international distribution channels, and for whom the books pose no commercial competition, to distribute them for you? In the past year in one of these shops I visit fairly regularly there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Linux and Linux-related books on the shelves (and a corresponding decrease in Windows books) so it would be good to see the FreeBSD Handbook and TCFBSD alongside them (plus FreeBSD for Dummies, FreeBSD for Sysadmins, etc., etc.). > -bob > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
