Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its post about self-publishing an ebook and its sales and earnings. The one comment cites it to compare its sales figures with the commenter's own PHP book.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
I self-published a PHP programming book ( http://www.littlehart.net/book ) and I've sold about the same number of copies as he has (~200 between PDF and LuLu) but (a) I didn't charge as much as he did and (b) didn't hook up with any affiliate marketing / promotion until October of 2009. Sold about 150 copies (PDF + Lulu) before I found my current publisher.
