Every time we’re at a conference, we get asked whether we’re going to write any books on the kinds of things we talk about. Well, at present the answer is no – we just don’t have time unfortunately. And, honestly, we like doing smaller chunks of more timely content rather than a complete book which takes a lot longer to “get to press”. However, we have a plan that we’d like to gauge interest in to see whether or not it’s worthwhile (Paul already blogged about this).<\/P>

Basically, there are two full-day workshops that we presented this year, Database Maintenance: From Planning to Practice to Post-Mortem<\/STRONG><\/EM> and Disaster Recovery: From Planning to Practice to Post-Mortem<\/STRONG><\/EM>. Each of these has 100+ slides in them and we add *a lot* of content while we’re presenting…just looking at the slides really isn’t enough. However, our plan is to take each of these slide decks and then add comprehensive notes for each slide. Once complete, we’ll create a full printout of the entire deck – with notes – for US $99.99. In addition to the printout, we will create a section on our website that includes relevant whitepaper links, KB article links, and blog post links – corresponding with specific slides\/topics from the deck. Additionally, as we’d be shipping the book to you anyway, we’ll throw in a free copy of the AlwaysOn DVD and the Manageability DVD, with around 20 hours of self-paced labs on them. Shipping and handling would be included for domestic US orders, and US $10 extra for non-US orders.<\/P>
