You might have seen the news already: we’re teaming up with O’Reilly Media to bring you guys even more Microsoft Press goodness!
Starting November 30 in the U.S. (and expanding globally over time), O’Reilly will be co-publishing our line of Microsoft Press books, and they’ll be our distributor as well.
We’ll still develop new MS Press books, and O’Reilly will too—which means that over time you should see more books, faster. And with O’Reilly distributing our titles, I’m sure you’ll see some sweet advances on our e-book front, too.
Beyond that, how are you impacted as an MS Press customer today? Not at all: you’ll continue to see our books in physical and on-line book stores with the same look, ISBN#, etc. It’s all goodness!
I’m sure our Microsoft Press colleagues and authors will be commenting as our relationship progresses, so be sure to follow them here on our Microsoft Press page here on B2L and on Twitter. You can also read Tim O’Reilly’s blog post about the announcement for more background.
