Google Alert just informed me that Core PHP is available for preview in Google Books. It’s an interesting dynamic. It hints that it’s just a preview. I can’t tell if not every page is available or what. But from a practical sense, electronic versions of the book are widespread. I regularly get alerts for links to the book from book blogs. And you’ll find it on the pirate bay separately as well as in gigantic collections of the best technical books. Google makes it easy for people to click to buy the book, but I get a little extra money if people buy through my Amazon affiliate link here on my site.

I love it when I read comments about my books that go like the following.

I also picked up Core PHP Programming (3rd edition) by Leon Atkinson and Zeev Suraski (Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference. Angels sing when I open it. Pithy, example-driven text. The binding and page layout are beautiful as well!
