As you can see through my blog, Packt have some great books – https://mp3muncher.wordpress.com/tag/packt/ some of which I have helped with during their development (a little shameless self promotion).

We’ve just heard that Packt Publishing have reached 2000 titles now.  To celebrate they’re running a promotion until  26th March 2014 with a buy one get one free. The offer is unlimited within the period and the discount will appear when you checkout.  For more go to  Packt here.

Packt2KPromo

This news got me thinking I’ve contributed to the book authoring process for 5 books now – which means I’ve contributed to 0.25% of the Packt books.  Reviewing a book takes on average 4 hours per chapter and most Packt books comes with 10-12 chapters. If it takes 4 times longer to write a chapter (16 hours) that’s 160 hours per book and 32,000 hours of authoring effort in the Packt library, which equates to over 3 1/2 years of non stop writing.

$5 ebook Bonanza1 template 1

My friends at Packt Publishing have just told me they are repeating last year’s amazing offer of ebooks at a flat price of $5 (for us Brits that’s £3.05) go here.  The Offer runs from sometime today (19th Dec) through to the 3rd of January.

The offer covers both their Open Source books, but also their Enterprise books as well (lots of Oracle and Microsoft publications).

Given the pricing you can’t go wrong.  I know last year I ended up with about 6 months of technical reading.
