Is this the same book?

by Jay Cross on March 14, 2006

Lance Dublin’s and my book, Implementing eLearning, has gotten the treatment at Amazon.

Happily, they’ve cut the price from $39.95 to $28.89. That’s still 20 cents a page, but oh what pages! Amazon tells me you get 1,244 words per dollar. And if you’re traveling, you’ll be happy to find out that’s nearly 3,000 words an ounce.

First sentence: “Today’s business operates in a real-time world where innovation rules, competitors appear from all corners, and knowledge provides more leverage than capital. ”

Read the first page and see for yourself.

Statistically improbably phrases include: change communication plan, market research findings, elevator pitch, implementation action plan, corporate learning, brand identity, project identity

Capitalized phrases: Aspect Communications, The Limited, Crisp Publications, Leading People Through Organizational Transitions, Menlo Park

The book’s 2,558 sentences contain 35,947 words made up of 237,826 characters. (That 8,407 words for a buck; Lance and I should have serialized this thing.)

What are you waiting for?

Just a suggestion, but I wouldn’t buy the book from these guys:
