Sign of a change?

I’ve been touting my recent book on debunking learning myths. Not because it’ll make me independently wealthy (if only!), but because it’s a continuation of my campaign for more learning science in our profession. We need this change! And I wonder if something that happened is a sign of progress.

At the ATD International Conference, as my publishers, they naturally had the book in the bookstore. They told me they’d slightly over-ordered, but lo and behold, it sold out.  What’s more, they ordered more, and they sold out too!

Now, there’re lots of things to unpack here.  First, it’s a great design. While I did the writing and the ideas for the comics, they chose the cover and title (both over my idea, and they were right ;) and the size, paper, cover material, etc.  In short, they did the design. And people have commented on the cover graphic and the tactile feel of the book.
