Forecasting: principles and practice (free ebook)
- octopus 14y agoFrom the book's Preface: The entire book is available online and free-of-charge. Of course, we won’t make much money doing this, but textbooks never make much money anyway — the publishers make all the money. We’d rather create something that is widely used and useful, than have large publishers profit from our efforts.
- showerst 14y agoThis looks really interesting. Is there a link on the site anywhere to download it as a PDF or Mobi? I'd love to drop it on my kindle but I don't see a link.
- crusso 14y agoLooks like it's a work in progress, so I don't guess they're ready to have the whole thing be available.
- mynegation 14y agoThey indicate that print book will eventually be available, so providing the book in PDF, mobi or ePub may be a breach of contract with the publisher. Publisher may still be OK that general public cannot easily put on an eReader or paper stack.
- crusso 14y agoWhat an interesting subject. Does anyone else have a bookmarks folder full of interesting subjects that they intend to go through at SOME date? Is anyone else like me and the growth of that list seems to completely outpace your ability to work through it? :)
- biofox 14y agoYes! I'm waiting for a free day when I have the time and motivation... I have been waiting for some time, and the list keeps growing, to the point where it is now daunting. A terrifying amount of fun awaits. Perhaps we need a HN book club?

- SkyMarshal 14y agoYes. My solution: keep growing the list but keep filtering it through a prioritization algorithm.
- crusso 14y agoMy wife does the same thing when scheduling me and my time.
