GWT In Practice

I occasionally review technical book manuscripts for a couple of publishing companies. I reviewed GWT In Practice by Robert T. Cooper and Charlie E. Collins published by Manning, which just came out. First off, it's a great book, and if you're working with GWT or want to work with GWT, I highly recommend it.

Secondly, it has a quote from yours truly on the back cover:

GWT In Practice-back cover

I think that's the first time my name has been on a real published book:) Maybe someday I'll write my own book.

    Hey, thanks for the praise of the book, we sure hope it will be useful to people - we put a lot of effort into it. Also, I was wondering who the folks that were quoted actually were, so wanted to say hi ;).

    If you don’t have a hard copy of the book (not sure what Manning sent you guys, the reviewers identities were not revealed to us), let me know and I will send you one.

    @Charlie:

    Thanks for commenting! It’s a great book! I’m sorry I didn’t write a more complete review here, but I was psyched to be in print:) I’ll post a more thorough review of the book as soon as I have time to write it up.

    Thanks for the book offer, however Manning sent me a nice hardcopy book already.

    Congrats and good luck!

    Hey! Write us an Amazon review! We can’t seem to buy one :/

    We are hovering in the 40,000s the last week or so, which makes me happy.
