V-Ray fast start

majid

Several years ago I prepared and shared an e-book for free that was a fast start manual for KT rendering engine, (KT fast start 4 architects). just saw that it has been downloaded more that 17000 times).
Now just finished V-Ray for SketchUp fast start, an amazing fully illustrated ,easy to understand and inspiring handbook in 65 pages.
here are some renders and cover and back pages. Hope publish it soon.

Magic images!

Really?
I made an amazon account, but it needs an ISBN...how may I obtain one please?
I wrote to O'Reilly, but seems their plan is something else... which publisher fits such things?
Best
here is another interior renders of the book:

You could try to contact Matt Donley at Master SketchUp.

Matt recently started selling his SketchUp to LayOut Book in PDF format. Matt is really nice guy and may be willing to share some tips.

He is also selling a Video Tutorial based on the book through Udemy.com.

Quite a few SU books were published through Wiley.

Here is a link to an article on How To Get An ISBN Number.

You can search for "book on demand" or "print on demand" to find possibilities for selling printed copies...
(example list from quick google search: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Publishing/Self-Publishing/On_Demand/ )

What I've prepared is a kindle version.
Is there any other simple, way to prepare other formats for sale?

Just saw this:
http://elibrarigo.com/pdffile1/free.php?asin=B00LUNMO1O#
lots of votes...
But is there any rule that prohibit them from re-distributing this book?

majid

I am keen to know if anybody here has a feedback on my e-book?
What is your opinion about the V-Ray v.3? what suggestions do you have?
Eager to know about those who have bought the e-book and see their resulting renders.

I am really impressed by feedback and responses! (kidding)

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58560, first of all I must thank for kind feedback and confess that due to the fact thaat my book covers V-Ray V2x version it would be great if I had the chance to prepare a book on V3x version of V-Ray as it is more user friendly...
As the change rates are so fast that it seems I must wait for V4x...
