Jonathan Oxer's latest book racing up the charts
Thu, Jun 22 2006
This isn't the typical eBusiness News - I'm being just a bit indulgent today, since my latest book came out last week and it's currently racing up the charts at online bookstores including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Both those online stores update their sales statistics hourly and last time I checked it was ranked at #482 and #236 respectively - rocketing it up past bestsellers like Noam Chomsky's "Failed States : The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy" and Sun Tzu's "The Art Of War"!
I'm sure those classics will still be selling strongly when my book is long gone, but it's still pretty bizarre to think I'm outselling Jack Kerouac at the moment.
In case you're not familiar with the background, "Ubuntu" is the name of the Linux distribution we run on almost all our servers here at IVT. It's a very well-crafted operating system that's extremely stable and comes with an incredible amount of high-quality software. I've been running it on my laptop for about the last year after switching over from the Debian distribution.
So now I'm sitting back watching the sales stats climb through the roof. The only thing I'm missing is a glass of champagne, but since I don't like champagne anyway that doesn't really bother me!
Just in case you're curious you can check out the book here:
