And I truly love seeing my books in different languages. I've always been interested in languages (apart from English, I speak Catalan, Spanish, French, and Italian, with varying success), so it's fun to see what the other languages look like, especially when I can sometimes pick out what they're talking about from the context. And I love seeing my screenshots and photographs translated:
My books have been translated into a lot of languages. (And that list isn't even up to date!)
But while I love to have one copy, my publisher usually sends me several.
So I'd like to share the extras with you. Hey, the holidays are coming. Maybe you know someone (or are someone) who would like one of my books in a foreign language. All you have to pay is the postage. USPS.com tells me it's $5 within the US, $10 for Canada and Mexico and $12 anywhere else.
OK, there's one more thing you have to do: something nice for someone else. You tell me what you've done, send me the postage (in cash or US stamps, please), and I'll send you the book.
(Want an English one? Read down to the very bottom.)
Here's what I've got left:
HTML, XHTML, and CSS, 6th edition: Czech (2), Chinese (2), and Spanish (3)
HTML 4th edition: French (2)
Creating a Web Page with HTML: Italian (2), German (2)
XML for the World Wide Web, 1st edition: Italian (2), French (1)
Publishing a Blog with Blogger: Italian (1), Swedish (2), French (1)
Perl and CGI, 2nd edition: Japanese (2)
If you're interested, leave me a comment with your email, or use my contact form.
And as a special bonus, I'll give the first person who can identify all three of the languages in the screenshots above any book of mine they like, postage paid, in English!
