How I Wrote a Book in 3 Days

With the word "execute" I also associate the word "ship".

So if there's an big push to "execute" as quickly as possible, why did they go with a physical book when they could have shipped a finished book in digital format exponentially faster?

I would love to read the book, but I don't buy physical books anymore.

The print publishing process gives you chances to find and correct errors (typos, etc.) before people get their copy of the book. Of course, if you don't mind publishing with errors initially you can update an eBook in ways you can't really update a printed paper copy of the book.

Just a thought.

We went for a hardcover first because we love books. Digital copies will come soon after...
