I’ve decided to build upon my report design book. So, for a limited time, I’m making the working version free again.
Why the revision?
I started writing a new book (code name: Report Like This).
But then I found myself repeating what was already written in The Reporting Revolution. Truth is, that book provides the foundation for how I approach reporting. It’s the mindset behind my approach.
So instead of writing a second book, I’ve decided to expand the little book into a second edition.
My goals for the new edition.
- Bigger.
- Better.
- Cheaper.
Bigger.
I’m going to convert the 5″ by 8″ book to a 6″ by 9″ book. I also plan to add a set of new chapters.
Better.
Illustrations. I think I went a little overboard on the stock photos, so I’m going to replace most of them with hand-drawn illustrations and a few new comics.
More chapters. I’ll go into more depth on reporting tools, reporting products, and some of the key lessons I’ve learned the hard way over the last few years.
Exercises. I plan to add a bunch of DiY exercises throughout the book. If you eventually get this in print, you can actually fill them out inside the book.
Cheaper.
Stuff keeps getting more expensive these days, so I’m going to do something radical. My goal with the new book is to make the print version $10. The only way to do that is to turn it black and white (color costs a lot more to print).
Your Role.
First, download the original book for FREE. Then read it.
As I update the book, I’ll update the download. As of today, the latest version is the full digital version of the original book. That will change over time as I add and update things.
Then, email me ([email protected]) if you have reporting questions you would love for me to cover in the book, things you think I’m missing, or if you need more clarity on anything.
