Housekeeping: How Pre-Pub. Discounts Work

Pre-publication is the best time to purchase Dorset House books. All orders for forthcoming titles receive 20% off before publication -- with no charge until the books ship.

Although we extend the expiration date until the book is officially in stock, it's never too early to order. Since we contact you for approval before shipping, you can "lock in" the 20% discount at no risk.

It's our way of thanking you for showing early interest as our authors endure our rigorous editorial process. You can cancel a pre-publication reservation, but we of course hope you won't!

Call (800) 342-6657 or visit http://www.dorsethouse.com/savings.html to reserve and save on these forthcoming titles:

Object-Oriented Computation in C++ and Java
by Conrad Weisert
Testing Dirty Systems
by William E. Perry and Randall W. Rice

We'll announce discounts on other books (forthcoming and otherwise :^) on the Savings page and this blog. Stay tuned.
