Microsoft Press Publications

Hi there.

Is it me or is there a lack of Microsoft Press Publications in the UK?

I've been trying to find books on C#/.net from waterstones and the British Library, but to no avail.

result, Publish more books in the UK.

I get most of my books from Borders in the UK. I live in York and our store has a wide selection.

ahh but are they imported or published, more than likely imported.

I've bought ms press books from Waterstones in Birmingham. They have a good selection that are not tagged as being imported.

Why so interested in ms press books specifically? A lot of ms people write some very good books that are published by other companies, Addison Wesley for example.

i'm targetting MS Press cause this is an MS site....  but you're right

http://blpc.bl.uk/

could you search some books up on there and see if the BL have them?  i seem to find 7 under C[hash] and a zillion under c#

I have no problems, the local books shops have excellent stock of all the current books from both Microsoft and elsewhere. If worst came to worst I could order off of amazon or order though the book-shop. Other than out-of-publication books, I have not had any problems getting hold of books here.

have you tried Computer Manuals compman.co.uk ?
Although you don't get to physically hold the book and check it out you can get any book you KNOW you want there and at a good price too, cheapest I have ever seen.  Also if you already own one of the books they have on file, put up a review and they'll send you a discount voucher.  Sign up for their regular newsletter and you'll get a 10% discount code from time to time too.
