Drupal Pro book cracks Amazon Top 100
About a week ago the new Pro Drupal Development book started shipping, and today, the book cracked the Amazon Top 100. And we're not talking about the top 100 computer books here, we're talking about the top 100 bestsellers.
I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive, and rumor has it that Apress, the publisher, already started making arrangements for a reprint.
That ranking might be short-lived but still ... can someone tell me what is going on here, because this is just plain nuts. I didn't expect that to happen either ...
Ranked number 5 in Computers & Internet. Looking forward to my copy turning up at the start of May.
April 18, 2007 - 23:16It even hit #1 in that category: see here.
April 19, 2007 - 07:34Got my copy yesterday afternoon (4.17), and I'm already on chapter 7. It's a great book, with lots of good illustrations. I think it's exactly the kind of documentation the community needed (at least of the dead-paper variety).
I hope people are buying from the official book site so that the affiliate ID portion goes to help the Drupal Association.
Thanks for all the hard work John and Matt!
April 19, 2007 - 00:05I got an email yesterday stating that my book had been shipped. Looking at the mailbox now because the postman will be arriving soon.
I didn't know about that http://www.drupalbook.com/ site. So I just pre-ordered at amazon. Too bad.
April 19, 2007 - 06:49Good news for Dries, I just emptied the mailbox, and guess what was in there ... I think I know what Dries will be doing when he gets back from work, and it won't be helping me preparing dinner. :-)
April 19, 2007 - 12:54You bet. ;-)

I'll tell you what's going on: Drupal rocks! And the world is starting to realize this.
The age of Rails is waning. Welcome the age of Drupal!
Enjoy the roller coaster ride, my friend. It's going to be higher and faster than you ever thought it could be.
April 19, 2007 - 15:08Nice catch, I just submitted this to Digg. :)
April 21, 2007 - 03:02Reading this made me decide to order this book directly. With the summer ahead, and free time, it will be good to have a good book where I can learn from. I have ordered at Amazon.uk, hoping that this is the best place to order from. (Question: Does the Drupal Association benefit from ordering at Amazon.uk, or do I have to order somewhere else?)
