The printed version of the DIGITAL Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide, ISBN
1-55558-218-4 , is "in press" and is expected to be out at the end of this
month. I previously wrote about the DIGITAL Fortran online bookstore that
we created in partnership with online bookseller Computer Literacy and how
you would get an additional 5% discount on orders placed through the DIGITAL
Fortran bookstore.
Well, now Computer Literacy has become fatbrain.com. In honor of this they
are offering an introductory one-time $15 discount on orders placed through
April 19. (See http://www.fatbrain.com/ for more details.) So, if you want
to order the Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide and get the $15 discount
(better than the 5% discount you'd get before!), place your pre-order now
through the DIGITAL Fortran bookstore
(http://www.digital.com/fortran/books.html) and replace the "fortrandisc"
discount code with "fatbrain". You won't be charged until the book actually
ships. Of course, you can order other Fortran-related books or anything
else fatbrain.com sells and get the $15 discount.
If you've previously placed a pre-order for the Programmer's Guide from
Computer Literacy and want to get the new discount applied, write to Daniel
Homsey at [log in to unmask] and give him your order number or e-mail
address and he'll make sure you get the discount.
While I'm on the topic - I've heard from at least one customer who had
pre-ordered the Programmer's Guide from amazon.com only to be told that the
publication had been cancelled. This is not the case - the problem is that
amazon.com had the wrong ISBN for the book and didn't respond to the
publisher's request to fix it. Now they've realized that the "wrong" ISBN
doesn't exist and have cancelled orders for it, but don't seem to have
caught on that the book exists under the correct ISBN. If you get such a
notice from amazon.com - feel free to place your order with fatbrain.com
instead.
