5 copies of 37Signals' Getting Real book to give away

Written by Richard MacManus / March 21, 2006 1:41 PM / 1 Comments

37signalsWeb design firm 37Signals has kindly given me 5 copies of their 171-page PDF book, Getting Real, to give away. Retailing for $19 on the 37Signals website, the book is sub-titled 'The smarter, faster, easier way to build a successful web application'. Given that I named 37Signals my Best Web LittleCo of 2005, I think it's a must-read for Web 2.0 designers and entreprenuers.

What I'm going to do is give away a copy to the first 5 people who leave an informative comment on my previous post, Microcontent Design, Part 1. I don't get as many comments on my site as I'd like, so this is a chance for me to milk it and get some (hopefully) great feedback on that post :-)

If you want to be in to win, click here and leave a comment - and either include your email address in the comment or send it to me privately, in order to qualify for a free 37Signals book.

UPDATE: Wow, that was quick! Here are the 5 winners of the 37Signals book. These are the first 5 who posted *informative* comments (1-liners and generic statements don't count, sorry):

Comment #1: Michael Fagan
comment #3: David Berube
Comment #5: Jackson
Comment #7: Jack Chou
Comment #8: Steve C

Thanks all for commenting and apologies if you missed out this time. Even though the books are taken now, please feel free to comment more! :-)

  1. I'm really just now discovering web 2.0, ajax, microcontent and the like. Its a lot to get your head around, especially coming from the design angle. But I'm intrigued.

    I work for Caterpillar (http://cat.com) in the Marketing and Brand Management Department, and as I'm reading these RSS feeds and getting deeper and deeper into it, I can see tremendous possibilities, and more importantly business cases for microcontent. Our company is due to introduce 200 new products over the course of the next 3 years, and the typical content that accompanies each new product is just going to inundate the customers and dealers.

    So be patient, I'm getting it, slowly. But I'm learning right here.
