The book has either been out for three months or six weeks depending on how you count. (The e-book was released earlier). A couple weeks ago, Scott and I took a picture with the book:

We’ve also learned that Amazon has a page called authorcentral.amazon.com which shows you “real time” book stats:

Well real time with three disclaimers:

  1. It’s updated weekly.
  2. It only includes US sales.
  3. It only includes printed book sales.

While it is bizarre to me that Amazon doesn’t include Kindle sales, it is cool seeing the map. The NY area has the most sales which isn’t surprising. Scott and I both live in the tri-state area and have therefore told the most people there. DC and Dallas were second and third.

Scott and I currently have the #1 Oracle cert book on Amazon

Scott and I currently have the #1 Oracle cert book on Amazon and the #20 Java book overall from our OCA 8 book. Granted this is misleading since it is a “book just came out” sales bump. But still really cool. It’s also cool to see questions like this one where you can see the reader understands or has a question about a subtle detail.

And thank you to everyone who has been sending us Errata.We are keeping a list on our OCA 8 book page. So far they are minor (typo things that don’t affect content.) Still, it’s good to have a list. That way we can fix them if there is a second printing or we write a Java 9 cert book! Plus if you are puzzled about whether it something is a typo, it is likely someone else reported it!
