Good for you! Magento isn't in my wheelhouse, but I'd be interested in hearing how you've gone about marketing your book before release — building a mailing list, sharing articles to social media, guest blog posts, etc. Do you have anything you'd do differently if you were to write another book in the future?

Hey,

This book is actually my second one the first one was: 'The Magento PHP Developer's Guide' which was in collaboration with PacktPub. During the process of writing and publishing the first book, I learned a lot of hard lessons.

The Magento TDD book is actually my attempt at doing things differently:

- Building an email list - A lot of twitter marketing

As well I'm currently working on getting some reviewer copies distributed to a few well-known blogs in the Magento community.

I plan to do a couple follow up posts with all the things I'm learning about marketing the book and the experience overall.
