Congratulations David. Nice review, and well done from one who is still trying to get his debut novel published! |
Go to Lulu.com or createspace.com and just do it man. 
Congrats David - love the title btw, very Monty Python, but in a serious way of course.

Like the story about the girl feigning the asthma attack. Wouldn't it be better to just release the tiger? Just kidding sounds like an interesting read and some good witty advice for protecting yourself against dimwits. I was almost beaten by a gang of punks in a Rotten Ronnie's one night a few years back but fortunately the cops were having a Mac Attack and showed up.

Congratulations David!
You could follow it up with a sequel: "A coward's guide to self-defense: prog version, or how to avoid being beat up for listening to crazy music"

Oh I see, yes they do. You can upload your work for free and use a free ISBN (if you choose) and they will publish it or people can d/load straight to Kindle! I am poor as hell so it works Also I like the the title and cover so when I scrounge up some cash soon I'd love to help a fellow progger!

Thinking about publishing on Amazon as well, is it simple?
Congrats man!!
I am a coward and would be slaughtered if I needed to fight so I may look into it

I don't know about publishing on Amazon-- do they have a publishing service? I used Lulu which did a great job for me and treated me with utmost professionalism, and they in-turn listed the book on Amazon. Hope that helps, and good luck if you ever take the plunge !
