I liked the book, and also agree that “some of the people whom Bob has interviewed are not mature enough to be interviewed”.

Good luck with the next one!

Do you mean their _companies_ are not mature enough? I have been following the stories of Patrick MacKenzie, Gavin Bowman and Ian Landsman’s companies for several years. I think they are all eminiently qualified to discuss what sells and what doesn’t in their markets.

I liked the book, but the interviews from other microISVs were probably too long. Some of the people whom Bob has interviewed are not mature enough to be interviewed.

Great review Andy. I had one comment on the following:

“My only real gripe is the comparison between programming patterns and marketing. I didn’t find this a helpful comparison. Marketing is a very different beast to programming and the sooner we face up to it, the better.”

Personally, i felt that the comparison was a little gimmicky, but still helpful in that it provides a framework for thinking about (and acting on) how to communicate to potential customers via your website. Marketing *is* a different beast, but while the analogy isn’t perfect, i think it is apt.

thanks Andy for the very kind review – and I’ll try not to torture any more innocent similes in future ebooks :)
