Today we launched what we at Five Simple Steps HQ have affectionately dubbed the ‘blue books’ - A Practical Guide to Web App Success by Dan Zambonini and A Practical Guide to Designing the Invisible by Rob Mills.

We were thrilled by readers’ reactions to the digital editions released last year, and after a positive response to the idea of printing hard copies we decided to go ahead and bring out both titles in paperback. And we’re really glad we listened to you all – they look (and smell, according to Rob Mills) fantastic!

Back then, we made a promise that once the paperbacks were available we’d provide customers who had already bought the digital editions with a code that meant they wouldn’t end up paying more than the price of the combined paperback and digital edition. We’re sticking to this.

So, if you’ve already bought the digital edition of Designing the Invisible or Web App Success and would like to get your hands on the paperback version too, drop us an email at orders@fivesimplesteps.com, stating your previous order number, and we’ll send you a unique code to use at the checkout. Please only contact us on this email address for your discount code. For all other enquiries, or if you have any problems with your order, you can contact us via our support system.

If you’d like to find out a bit more about either of our ‘blue book’ authors and their books, you can read their answers to the Five Simple Questions we asked them:

And while we may have another book launch under our belts, things are by no means slowing down at Five Simple Steps. We’ll have news for you on two brand new titles with their own colourful covers very soon – watch this space!
