I’ve been following the news stories about the fires, but I’m embarrassed to admit, when I saw your offer, I was more excited about the books than the cause.

I already have 3 of your paperbacks, but I could not restrain myself, and got 10 pdf’s today. A couple covered topics I probably would have bought books about from somewhere anyway, but most of them I probably would not have considered buying. Eg, I’ve got the first edition of “Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way” at home already, but I got the pdf of the 2nd edition because of the sale. I got some beginner books on subjects I don’t currently have on my plate, eg, Rails. I’ll come here first when I look for intermediate books on some of these topics. Now, I just need time to read all these books!

I had to laugh at the guy who accused you of using a worthy cause to clear out back catalog. Think of the exploited subatomic nano-laborers, furiously picking electrons from bins and driving quantum forklifts around the Sitepoint warehouse as they struggle to keep up with demand.

Fantastic idea SitePoint – very commendable.

I’d also like to get Simply SQL as one of my five books, I noticed it was available yesterday but not today. Is it going to be offered in this sale?

Also, I’m interested to know how much is raised through this SitePoint sale, so please keep us posted!

Many thanks!

What a fantastic idea.

I am credit-card less at the moment, and have ceased using paypal, are you guys ever going to consider debit cards or is it too difficult?

Anyhoo, I’d like to donate, so may talk to the other half about using her card for this – kudos guys, awesome effort :)

Good on you Sitepoint! Your books are great and how pleasing it is to see that your corporate values and sense of community are of an equally high standard. Keep up the the good work!
