First published in 1996 (a.k.a.: the Stone Age), Creating Commercial Web Sites was the first of its kind and, according to so many of your kind notes and reviews, the best.

We thank you all for the praise and friendly contributions you've sent us over the years. When we wrote the book, we never could have imagined that we would hear from so many readers around the world, or that nearly ten years later, long after the book has been out of print, we would still be running into fans, both on line and in the real world.

Unfortunately, with Creating Commercial Web Sites so long out of print, we can't possibly keep up the links on this site, so please consider it an historical artifact from the pioneer days of cyberspace, and nothing more.

In answer to the most common question we hear: No, there is no plan for an updated version of the book -- Sorry.

Last time we checked, you could still get the book used at Amazon and elsewhere.

Again, thanks for your support, and we wish you all the very best.

Yours Truly,
