Earlier quoted context omitted.

We are absolutely interested in feedback like this, keep it coming! Indeed the first chapter is tough - we learned that through various iterations with many reviewers. Eventually we decided to just introduce you and skip the meta talk about methods and stuff. That should be in the "Welcome" passage before the actual chapter (included in chapter 1 - free download). If you didn't find the argument to let you know wheth…

What if you put a small excerpt of each chapter? or, maybe just a TOC (I didn't see that on site) This would solve what buyer wants without giving all your content away

The TOC is available on the Manning site (where you buy the book). plus all chapters that are already available have "AVAILABLE" behind the chapter heading.

I have seen both Manuel and Stephan being very active in the community! They also organize Meteor meetups in Germany, Cologne.

Yes, they are. I know both personally. They love Meteor and know how to explain stuff in an easy and concise way.

We invited them over to our first Meteor Meetup in Düsseldorf, Germany :)

Can't wait to read their book!

That's one of the most engaging landing pages I've ever seen for a book. Sadly, once it went through to a sign-up wall for me to download the first chapter free, I gave up. Had there been a direct download link, I would have still been interested.

It's meteor! Their marketing department want your email desperatly ;)

Hahaha, have you seen their website? If there is one thing Meteor needs to improve big time, it would be marketing!
