關於本書
這本書解釋了Leanpub背後的理念。
雖然《精益出版》這本書僅有100多頁,約20,000字(大約是中篇小說的長度),但我投入了大量的思考、研究和工作。如果我投入的工作少一些,它可能會有200頁,但內容會更少趣。
那麼,這本書包含了什麼內容呢?
簡單來說,這是對精益出版的最終介紹和指南。
精益出版是使用輕量級工具和多次迭代來發布進行中的電子書,以獲取讀者反饋,並在找到合適的書籍方向後進行轉向,最終建立起讀者群。
這本書深入探討了精益出版的理念,考慮了精益出版各個方面的含義和來源。
第一章,定義,詳細探討了精益出版的定義,深入剖析其各個組成部分。這一章是精益出版宣言的基礎,宣言可見於https://leanpub.com/manifesto。
第二章,起源,考察了精益出版的起源,包括從維多利亞時期的連載小說、同人小說、測試書籍、博客到我自己的經歷等各個方面。
第三章,實踐,簡短討論了作者和出版商的精益出版實踐。Leanpub也在其中討論,因為這是我們實現這些想法的嘗試...
