Annual e-mail from my publisher
Jan. 26th, 2022 07:58 amThe publisher of my textbook, Picturing Programs: An Introduction to Computer Programming, says 13 (print-on-demand) copies were sold in 2021, and they owe me GBP 88 in royalties. Woo hoo! Still got a way to go for the NY Times best-seller list....
Seriously, it's sorta surprising that even 13 print copies were sold, given that one can download the entire text (with color pictures, not the greyscale ones in the print edition) for free from the web site, and are invited to subsequently pay me what you think it's worth.
Since the textbook is written to go with a particular language and development environment (which are also a free download), I should probably update the textbook to make sure it still works with the current versions of those.
