Actually he didn't follow the advice.
- zerr 7y agoInteresting to see how did it affect the sales.
- jimhefferon 7y agoI thought he implied that the publisher agreed to a free online version after a delay of two or three years. (Although I don't think he said so directly.)
- mjd 7y agoYeah, I'm very disorganized. Also, I had a new baby in mid-2004 and I was really busy for a couple of years.
- zerr 7y agoBtw, any plans for Raku variant of the book?
- mjd 7y agoNot a chance.
- lizmat 7y agoWould you care to elaborate why?
- mjd 7y agoSo many reasons. Here are just a few. The new book would not be a “variant”, it would be a completely different book. To gain the expertise needed to to a good job with the new completely different book would require that I spend years studying Raku and thinking about what would work and how to make it work well. Even once I knew what I wanted to write about in HOP, that book took five years to write. Even if someone were to pay me full-time to do nothing but produce a Raku book, it would still take me at least four years to do it.
