Today I received my second book sales report from Packt Publishing on my Citrix XenApp 6.5 Expert Cookbook. And with receiving the numbers for the second quarter, I’m very proud of the results for the first half of 2014.
My book has sold over 350 copies. How cool is that?!?!
It feels great to know that my hard work in writing this book filled with practical tips & tricks to enable administrators and engineers to improve their Citrix XenApp designs, troubleshooting skills, and XenApp farm performance and automation has enabled me to share my knowledge with the Citrix community. I made sure it is money well spent, so thank you all for buying this book and sharing the knowledge!
So for those who are interested in the exact numbers, here they are:
| Format | Q1 | Q2 | H1 2014 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ebooks | 111 | 91 | 202 |
| Packtlib | 6 | 5 | 11 |
| Print books | 96 | 59 | 155 |
| Total | 368 |
