I read the samples it and seems decent... although heavily spaced with large nicely formatted quotes. I feel like I'd blow through the whole 83 pages on a lunch break. But of course, this might be a good thing... often times the best advice is succinct.
I'm on the verge of buying it, but I probably won't for two reasons. One: many VC's and entrepreneurs have done such a great job at disseminating this information that it's basically free. I don't mind having to do some digging around to put the bits together.
Two: I want to help out. If I save my $20 for myself to continue working on my hack, then at some point I can pitch to these guys and eventually make them more than $20 richer... so it really is to their own benefit.
$19 is the cost of lunch and a couple of lattes. While I don't need the book to learn how to pitch, the humor/entertainment value by itself makes it worth skipping lunch to buy. (Note: this is an unsolicited advertisement. Nivi, if you see this, perhaps you can set up the equivalent of an Amazon affiliate code so I can make 4% off each copy.)
When you buy it (I just did) you get a message with a $5 discount code in it ("for your friends"). I'd share it here (aren't we all friends here?) but I'm not sure if that's OK with the authors.
