#14> “ The book I want to read. ”
— Matz, creator of the Ruby language
The amazing review / testimonial the author probably was able to ask for because he's credible and an active member of the Ruby ecosystem (tinyrb).
Another lesson on the value of real working relationships.

#15How do you feel about ClickBank? One of my weekend projects is a little site that'll make selling digital goods online really simple, targeted at a non-technical audience. Obviously, you are technical, but how'd you feel about the various sites that are out there? Did you try other services before ClickBank?

#16How much time did it actually take you to write the book?
Writing took about 2 months IIRC. But the learning took >1 year :p
I would be really interested to hear about the learning process. Was there something in particular that you read that was especially helpful? Did you buy other e-books to learn how to write and market e-books?

#18I'd love some more details:
1. How did you come up with this as a topic for an eBook?
2. Is this your area of expertise, or did you see a niche market?
3. What are some specifics on your AdWords campaign?
4. Looks like you have a strong online presence. Do you think that helped sell your book or was it completely irrelevant to its success?

I've seen this book from an HN link a few months ago, so he already got one boost. This will probably bump his sales nicely again though.
