Hi

I'm pleased to announce that my new book, Ubuntu Pocket Guide and
Reference, is now available. It's a compact yet comprehensive guide to
all aspects of day-to-day Ubuntu use.

You can buy it from Amazon.com for a recession-busting $9.94. It's
approximately 5x8 inches and 166 pages (ISBN 978-1440478291).

Uniquely, the PDF Edition of the book is available entirely free of
charge from http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com. What's more, people are
encouraged to share the PDF Edition file with friends, and even upload
it to file-sharing networks. The PDF Edition is exactly the same as
the Print Edition.

For more details, and to download the PDF Edition, visit the website:

http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com

If you've got any questions, get in touch.

Cheers

Keir Thomas

Hello Keir!
I just wanted to say that your book "Beginning Ubuntu Linux, from novice to professional" helped me get started using linux. Ubuntu was the first distro I tried (about 3.5 years ago now) and I was totally clueless at the time. I bought the first edition of your book as soon as it came out and I learned a lot from it. I've been using linux (mostly Ubuntu and Slackware) ever since.
Thank you for that excellent book.
