  A small number of reposts is ok if an article hasn't had significant attention yet. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#reposts https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#reposts. In this case, we invited the author to redo his Show HN along with a sample chapter, since that is the Show HN convention for "sharing one's work" (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) when the work is a book.

    Thanks. I'm aware of the policy but good policy always bears restating/reminding. I also appreciate the additional background. Having said that, the author only posted the ToC and Intro, which meant it came off much more as trying to Show HN readership something to buy, rather than sharing any of his actual work with HN. Hence why I posted all of the prior attempts.

      I agree that it would have been better to share a technical chapter!
