Yes.  A new edition is going to be released in 2016.  Preliminary work has already begun.  I have also begun work on books solely based on Peercoin, Reddcoin and DigiByte.  These individual crypto books will form a series called "The Alt-ernative" Crypto Book Series.  

If you have anymore questions, please ask further questions Cheesy

Looks good, but some major players lack a spotlight in the cover section such as Monero, Ethereum, Safe..

When I was writing the current book, Monero was only a few weeks old.  Also, when the coins were chosen for this book, the previous vote finished on the 16th of March 2014.  It is a historical reference of cryptocurrency from 2014.  Hope this answers your question.

The cover image covers coins firmly established in 2014.

Good work. But, I can just see the looks on relatives' faces as they open up their Christmas gift and then they see this title.  Cheesy More so, too bad this didn't come out in time for Valentine's day. Grin

Good work Tyke!  Looks promising and a very approachable book to a beginner to Cryptocurrency.

I'll definitely be adding this to my Amazon wishlist along side "The Age of Cryptocurrency" and "Mastering Bitcoin".

That's something people must have been looking around for in order for them to get these topics explicated to them.
Great work Tyke and good luck for your work to reach as much people as possible. Smiley

I only see paperback editions on Amazon, are there any ebooks? Why don't you sell it on cryptothrift as well in order to accept bitcoin?
