There are some strange sites out there. This one, found via Google Alerts, apparently is a Russian site designed to lure readers looking for illegal downloadable PDFs of books. As it happens, the page for my book seems to be stolen from the Amazon.com description; there’s no pirated copy of my book available. (Too bad; I would have been flattered.) But the ad that coincidentally showed up when I loaded the page made me laugh:
I’m not sure whether this means my book helps single guys attract women, or whether it can actually stand in for a romantic life. You be the judge. Anyway, something’s helping sales over on Amazon, so maybe this “ad campaign” worked:
sex sells ( as we know it by now )
Love it. And I've got the book and I've got a girlfriend, so I can only give a big thumbs up for Real World Digital Audio! It worked for me!
I have a girlfriend, and I still need to read it.
Well I don't know about you guys, but I do not have a girlfriend, and after reading this post, I ran over to amazon.com and placed an order. No joke. Well… maybe 12% joke. But I did order it. Wish me luck!
This book helped me record my girlfriend's band. Does that count?
Heck, my hope is that computer music gets girlfriends, is FOR girlfriends, gets boyfriends, etc., etc.
Better check it again, the book is available all over the internet in CHM format.
I only said it wasn't available at this site. I know it's been pirated all over the place; I'm guessing all the e-books from Pearson make it out.
It's unfortunate, because book sales are tiny as is, and a lot of stuff winds up going out of print as a result.
That sucks that it's readily available. It's an excellent book, and well worth the cash. I wholeheartedly recommend buying it.
Maybe your sales are picking up because word gets around that it's good. (Dunno about the girlfriend angle unless I can count my wife and 2-year old daughter…)
Awesome. Well, I received this book after already being married for 1 year…and we're still married! With today's 50% divorce rate, perhaps our marriage bliss is a partial result of my owning the book? You can't say it's definitely not true… Thanks Peter!
