| Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Has anyone had the chance to read this book yet? Managing Online Forums: Everything You Need to Know to Create and Run Successful Community Discussion Boards - Managing Online Forums
I'm debating getting it. I'll probably head to Barnes & Noble or Borders to see if they've got it and sit down with it for a bit. Check to see if its worth the time and money.

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums That sounds very interesting. Is it available in an ebook form? If so, we could go half on it or something

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Hi Mr. Staple, Caddyman and ArnyVee,
Thank you for your interest in my book.  I really appreciate it.
Mr. Staple,
I'm not sure if the address on your whois information is where you are presently located, but if so, the nearest Barnes & Noble appears to be the one in New Hartford, NY. The book is currently in stock at that location. B&N is stocking the book nationally while Borders' stocking is much sketchier. It does not appear to be in stock at any of the Borders near you, unfortunately. Sorry.
ArnyVee,
I do not believe it is yet available in eBook format. It will hopefully become available at some point. But, one copy per household!  .
Thanks again for your interest. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!
Sincerely,
Patrick

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Thanks for the response Patrick. Good to see you taking time to answer questions.
I actually stopped at a Borders out here in Buffalo NY (Walden Ave. in particular) with no luck, but I'll try Barnes and Noble Thursday most likely. My Whois info is a bit outdated, haha.
I actually saw your book image along with the Problogger one on the Flickr Image (your photo I believe, but could be mistaking). Then I remembered you from phpbbhacks as I used to frequent there when I had some phpBB forums.
EDIT:
Looked on B&N's site for it via ISBN and found that they've got copies at 3 stores out here. I'll be heading to check it out on Thursday.

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Patrick,
Borders for some reason doesn't let you search by the 13 digit ISBN, but I got the shorter ISBN from B&N, then searched that on Borders and your book came up. Might want to throw the shorter ISBN # up on the books web page as well.

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Also, just went and bought it at B&N Today.
Took a while to find it as they had it in the Windows section instead of the web design section they said it'd be in.
Skimmed through some of it and it looks great so far.

| Re: Patrick O'Keefe - Managing Online Forums Awesome, thanks so much for buying it and thanks for the kind words.  I really appreciate it.
Where it is placed in the stores seems to be a mixed bag. Really, it's an honor to be stocked as heavily as they have, so I'll take it where they can stick me.  But, from what I have seen, it tends to mostly be in the "Home Computing" section.
Thanks,
Patrick
