Today I'm announcing the availability of the 2nd Edition of the Complete Guide to the Nikon D700, but with a twist: there's now a limited edition option, and boy is it a doozey. If you've got a D700 and are looking for one-on-one time with me, you need to check out that option. Especially since only 25 people are going to be able to take me up on that option. It's first-come, first served. Update: for those looking to update from the first edition, I've added a link to the main D700 Guide page.
But this is a good opportunity to comment about some of the changes I've made to my book offerings. Both Nikon and I are in mostly update season. As Nikon introduces updates, so, too, must I. As I make those updates, I'm adding options. To wit:
- Each updated book now has a professionally printed and bound option available. Many of you requested this. It took me awhile to find a local vendor that lived up to my high standards at a reasonable price. Printed versions are now available as an option for the D40, D60, D5000, and D700 Guides. More are on the way.
- Most of the eBooks (all the current cameras) now come with 96 to 128-page printed, spiral bound (for flat use in the field) ToGo Guides. These are an included part of the D80, D90, D300, D700, D5000, and D3 Guides, and will be a part of any refresh of the Flash Guide, too.
- Starting with the D700 Guide update and likely with any eventual D300 and D3 Guide updates, I'm offering a special limited edition bundle, and that includes much sought after and valuable one-on-one time with me.
- eBook Reader compatibility: due to the complexity of the formatting and the special Nikon icon font I created and use, any portable Reader needs to fully support PDF in order to be able to use my works. This has been tested and works on the Amazon Kindle DX, Sony Reader, and B&N Nook. But it does not work on the original Kindle or the Kindle 2. While some have gotten the eBooks to work on smartphones with PDF applications, I don't recommend it, as the formatting just doesn't work with such restricted screen space.
I continue to listen to my customers and try to provide options that they ask for within the constructs that a small, one-man business can support. If there's something else I should be doing, please don't hesitate to let me know.
