I'd like to hear from the authors here. Honestly, how does it feel to know your book is being touted as one of the best no limit books written on a number of forums? Obviously you knew it was good when you were putting the material together, but did you think it'd have this type of reaction?What's the next step for you guys… audios, DVDs, companion book etc.. ? Do you plan to do any group coaching?


Do you think your pricing model will have an effect on the $500 type ebooks?  Do you guys see your next book to be just strictly ebook or ebook/traditional?


Here's the big one: Have you considered doing a NotedPokerAuthority project similar to what Ed did over at Stox? Where you'd coach 1 (or possibly 1 per author) student… where they'd post videos, you'd do the review of their play etc?

Pete,


Thanks for the enthusiastic comments. :) I don't want to jump to conclusions about what people in general will think of the book, however. After all, it's only been out three days now and I'd guess only a pretty small number of people have read the entire book through even once so far.


I'm not sure what's next. We've discussed a few different options, but for now I think we're all three kind of ready for a little vacation.


I don't see us as really competing with the boutique e-books. SSNLHE is the affordable e-book… the book for people who want to get serious about the game, but who just can't justify spending hundreds and thousands of dollars yet on books and training materials. I would hope that people would read our book and make enough money from it that they can afford those boutique books.


That's an interesting idea about taking on a project. Perhaps. Right now all I can think of is relaxing in a hot tub for a while, but the project idea is a good one.

I'm only on my 2nd read.. so I can't make the same claims many are making on the messageboards, but I will say this: It's exactly the type of book that finally bridges the gap between theory vs practical application in *modern* games. It'll be a classic, that is pretty obvious.


Get some rest guys and great job on the book.
