Yes. Also, I don't know if you would agree, but I think any hacker bootstrapping a startup should instead read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Start-Small-Stay-Developers-Launching/... It's written by a developer (a real one, who can actually code, not just talk about startups) who has really done it on his own - filled with valuable advices and thoughts. Every time I see someone talks about some startup book written by a marketing guru, I can't help but recommend this one instead.

As a side note, I'd like to point out that a lot of scam books appeared on amazon in the marketing and startup sections lately. The worst thing, they all got fake 5 star reviews, so it's not always clear right away this is a scam.

snitko, eh eh. Hacker News is home of very smart people and I don't expect The Bootstrapper Bible to be their only book.

Btw, the fact that you suggested that book made me understand how much the current way Amazon suggest you books doesn't really take in consideration your goals or background.

It should actually ask you "Why are you buying this book?" Me "Because I want to make a startup" AMZ "Oh cool, what's you background?" Me "I am hacker" AMZ "Oh ok then with Seth Godin you are going a little bit too businessy. Try Start Small, Stay Small"

Sorry guys, early morning thoughts.
