For the longest time Gil’s book Active Directory Programming has been out of print and to buy it would cost you a couple of hundred dollars… That is pretty steep for the book although it is a good book. Well I just looked on Amazon today for someone else and found that there are several used copies of it up on Amazon now for less than $20… So go get that book. Then take it to TEC and have Gil sign it!!!
I actually bought myself another one just to have a spare. Not sure why, but it felt like the right thing to do. In fact, that is a great thing to do… So everyone out there should maybe buy a spare of my book too – Active Directory for Totally Cool People.

Excellent, just bought one of the used versions too. I didn’t realize it had come down this much.
For your book I have the hard copy and also the electronic version from safari http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596155179
It’s nice to have that version to easily search and have it on the USB drive.
The “Joe Richards Effect” is definitely in play here.
That first book I ordered for < $20…received an email from Amazon…order cancelled
Went for the next one on the list for < $30 …received an email from Amazon…order cancelled
So now I'm in the queue for the last one < $30 (hope that doesn't get cancelled)…then they are back up around the $60 mark.
AD Book publishers should pay for your endorsment 🙂
