Over 600 copies sold of my first book!

Citrix XenApp 6.5 Expert Cookbook

It’s been over a year and a half that my first book Citrix XenApp 6.5 Expert Cookbook was published by Packt Publishing. And each quarter they sent me a report on the number of books sold for the previous quarter. So here’s a quick overview of the sales reports I’ve received.

 

Without any spoilers: my book has sold over 630 copies!!
 

To me selling so many copies is so much more than I held possible. After all Citrix already released the 7.0 version of Citrix XenApp when I finally finished the book.
 
I’m very grateful and want to thank everyone who bought a copy of my book. I really hope it has given you some great tips and tricks to get the most out of your Citrix XenApp 6.5 infrastructure!

 

So for those who are interested in more detailed numbers, here they are:

2014: 2015:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2
213 155 89 68 51 57
Total (sum):   525   633

 

And yes this definitely is an extra motivation to start writing a new book and share my experiences with you once more 🙂
