Barnes&Noble has been dropping the price of my book by about a dollar a day, with Amazon following a few hours later. It's now better than 20% off list at both places. See my blog http://www.machinehearing.org

I hope this means they're fighting over market share, not dumping inventory. Still no reviews.

I finally got my first printed book in hand today, and Amazon is saying expect May 10 delivery if you ordered from there (in the US), and they've dropped the price by 4 dollars.

It's a beaut. And I found a typo already, so I'll need to start an errata page soon. I'm still offering $1 per bug.

Thanks for all the private replies and congrats.

Another thing: the Kindle version is available -- my wife bought it yesterday, and it works on her Kindle.
Personally, I think that format is yucky and too expensive, but if that's where you read ...

And if anyone wants to consider using this book for a course, let me know; I can probably have the publisher send you a free copy.

If you don't like shameless self-promotion, you can stop reading now.

My new book is "on press" with deliveries expected within a week.
Seven years in the making...

and Amazon's "Look Inside" feature is working, so you can see real page images finally.

I can say without fear of bias that this is the best book I've ever written.
