[DM-MUG] Fwd: Save 50% in the Take Control 7th Anniversary Sale

[Victoria L. Herring]

>Good day!

>It's hard to believe, we know, but it was seven years ago, in 2003, 
>when we tentatively announced our first Take Control ebook, Joe 
>Kissell's "Take Control of Upgrading to Panther." (Remember what was 
>new and cool in Panther? No, we don't either.) Now it's time to 
>celebrate Take Control's seventh anniversary with a 50%-off sale. 
>Order any of our ebooks at half-off through the end of December 
>using this coupon-loaded link:

>http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog?pt=TCANNOUNCE&cp=CPN01206TC7
>
>In retrospect, we started Take Control at a particularly auspicious 
>time. The PDF format was nearly ubiquitous, we had all become 
>accustomed to buying things on the Internet, and most of the big 
>publishers hadn't yet figured out ebooks in a big way. That enabled 
>us to focus on writing, editing, and producing the best possible 
>ebooks we could, constantly refining what we considered a good ebook 
>to be as we went.
>
>Since then, the bar has risen much higher for what is expected of an 
>ebook publisher, and we've plunged into an exciting new world, 
>taking our readers along for the ride as we come up with better ways 
>for our books to provide the help you need, when you need it. Most 
>notably, you can now log in to your Take Control Ebooks account to 
>see exactly which ebooks you own and re-download them (on an iOS 
>device, you can even read them directly from your account). For 
>those who need alternative ebook formats like EPUB (for iBooks in 
>iOS, and for other e-readers) and Mobipocket (for the Kindle), we've 
>(mostly) made those formats available in your account for all but 
>our older titles.

>We may be pretty good at writing and publishing books, but we've had 
>to stretch to learn ever more about delegation, project management, 
>finance, and development. At times, the entire project is 
>exhausting. But we start each day (well, most days), re-energized 
>thanks to you, our readers, who buy and read our books, who write in 
>with anecdotes about what's working and what's not, and who give us 
>constructive comments. And we're by no means done! We have lots of 
>ideas in the works for more account-related capabilities, easier 
>ways for you to read the ebooks, faster publishing of more file 
>formats, and of course, more ebooks on the topics you care about.
>
>As a thank you to everyone who reads the Take Control series and as 
>an encouragement for anyone who hasn't yet tried our ebooks (so 
>please, spread the word!), we're holding a seventh anniversary sale 
>for the rest of the month. Whether you want to update a bunch of 
>older ebooks all at once, see what's new in the Take Control catalog 
>(check out "Take Control of Your Paperless Office" and "Take Control 
>of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch"), or order a bunch of 
>ebooks to put on a thumb drive as a gift ("Take Control of iPhone 
>Basics" and "Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ" might be especially 
>appreciated), you can save 50% on whatever you buy through the end 
>of December.
>
>To see all our titles in a single list, use this coupon-loaded link 
>to view our alphabetically sorted catalog:

>Also, one of our iPad ebooks is already updated for iOS 4.2 - "Take 
>Control of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, Second 
>Edition." We are working to update our other iPad ebooks and expect 
>to have them out later in December or in early 2011. If you buy one 
>now, you will receive a free update when the new title becomes 
>available, something we always do for those who buy shortly before a 
>new edition comes out.

>Thanks again for your support, and our best wishes for a happy 
>holiday season and end to 2010!
