How much will it cost on Amazon? And when will it be available?

If you're going to the trouble of photoshopping this at least make sure you name the supposed author correctly. It's Petzold.

Oops. Indeed.
Thanks for the correction.
Ouch!

Why did you choose Petzold? Does he know anything about sound money, or anything at all except programming?

He is an excellent writter and works for Microsoft.
I really think he would do great, maybe with a team helping him out.
The thing is, we really need such a book ;)

You could write it.

I would pay good money for that.

What would you see inside?
Does anyone want to draw a skeleton of it, that is, the table of contents?
Anyone?

I'll write it  ;D

Nooooooo.  >:( I want remote to write it.

Ha ha ok I look forward to seeing the result   :)

I'm still waiting for a "Bitcoin For Dummies" book.

At least we have the forum...

He said Bitcoin for Dummies not Bitcoin for Raving Lunatics

 ;D

This man speaketh the truth!

Lol, maybe my extensive ignore list gives me a biased impression.

Who's leading in writing this book so that I can look into their background and start a dialog as to why they're not qualified or, OMG, their ghostwriter has a dubious background.  ;D

An excellent title choice would be Bicoin: The Future of Money. Also, and I've mentioned this before, since Bitcoin has multiple facets to its workings, I suggest the tome should be written in the style of another great 'Bible' book, written on a subject most here are keenly aware of: http://www.amazon.com/Doyle-Brunsons-Super-System-Course/dp/0931444014/ref=sr_1_19?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1357179129&sr=1-19&keywords=doyle+brunson : Different authors on the various aspects of Bitcoin: mining; exchanges; etc.

Let me guess, he didn't actually use Photoshop, but maybe Paint (or some generic app.)

Yes well I was confused as well to the actual content, as there is PHP on the cover I assumed it was more aimed at coding for BTC applications?

Isn't there already a book called BItcoin: The Future of Money?

I like to think of Bitcoin as an emerging fundamanetally disruptive technology which has the potential to revolutionise society, culture and finance to the same degree as the creation of the Internet itself.

Possible contents:

Part 1: What is Bitcoin?

- Introduction: Cryptocurrency explained
- A brief history of Bitcoin
- Economic theories behind Bitcoin
- The money of the future: how Bitcoin changes everything

Part 2: Using Bitcoin

- Getting started
- Obtaining Bitcoin
- Spending Bitcoin
- Mining Bitcoin

Part 3: The Future of Bitcoin

- Bitcoin's Price History and Bitcoin as an investment
- Possible future scenarios for Bitcoin
- What the future of Bitcoin means for you and the wider world

- Glossary
- Appendix


I am more interested in the content for Part's 1 and 3 so maybe I will just start writing anyway (just for fun), it's something I have been thinking about for a while and I love writing :) Anyone please PM me (especially remotemass :)

We really do not need anything that makes Bitcoin more accessible to politicians.

On another note, I have wanted to take The Free Bitcoin Guide (http://www.freebitcoinguide.com) deeper, further and higher.
