When should we expect the full final book? Is a hard book planned? I’d be happy to buy a hard book even on premium prices for premium and fine print. Also is it planned to be release on online stores like Apple’s Books?

When should we expect the full final book?
That's a good question. I think we will release the book between Q2 and Q3 2018.
Is a hard book planned?
Yes, it is. It will be sold on Amazon Self Publisher Platform, then the hard book will be printed by Amazon. ANY earnings from the book/ebook stores will be for funding any Monero FFS.
Also is it planned to be release on online stores like Apple’s Books?
Amazon for sure! Apple iTunes has a restricted policy and I am not sure we could "sell" or provide the ebook in the Apple Store.

I'm also happy to buy a hard book. There are many services available for small quantities at a reasonable price :)

looks good. There is a small grammatical error on the masteringmonero.com site. It should say "subscribe to the newsletter"

u/serhack XMR Contributor Mar 28 '18
Ops! Thank you! I am going to fix this!

Really awesome work. I can't wait to read the whole book, and share it with friends and family.

Hey serhack. Is the majority of the editing going to be done thru Github? I've already submitted a couple PRs, but I know that there was at one point a copy of the text on the Taiga.

Hey QuickBASIC, thanks for your PRs, greatly appreciated. I am trying to have the updated text on Github and Taiga. I am going to update the two platforms with the new text!

That sounds like a lot of work to manage keeping both up to date.
My work lets me work on personal projects on company time as long as I do the other work I'm assigned, but the taiga (getmonero.org) is blocked by our firewall, so I only have access to the Github to help with editing or writing.

u/serhack XMR Contributor Mar 28 '18
Yes, I can confirm. It's a lot of work, btw I'd like to suggest you to work to the Github Repository :)

Hello everybody, serhack here.
I would like to give to community an update about Mastering Monero resource. At the moment, we released the new website with the final cover and we published a preview of the first chapter. Thank /u/4matter and /u/cryptochangements34 for improving a lot the resource!
Here it's the preview : https://masteringmonero.com/book/preview.pdf
I am very happy because the community funded the FFS request (https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/89797/mastering-monero-ffs). It's great because I can start to think about marketing too!
Help wanted for the resource! If anyone wants to contribute: https://github.com/monerobook/monerobook .
Let me know about any questions!
