We are a startup and we face the same challenge, how to have customers believe us.

Just curious: what’s the source of the artwork? It’s an interesting juxtaposition of title and artwork. Is there a creation story you can share?

Finally someone who got the metaphor. Sean, I should have known it would be you!

Who did the artwork on the cover? Was it repurposed from an existing automobile owner’s manual? The exploded view of an engine is an interesting metaphor for the complexity and rich interaction set of the various elements of a startup.

Can we please just have an ebook. In face charge me $50 (or $60) for the ebook.

I really want to read your book. I DON”T want to be stuck with a paper book. Steve, do your bit for the environment, please.

Getting it directly from you is $39.95, but from Book Depository it is $29.96.

Why the price discrepancy?

Hey Steve,

Huge fan of your work. Unfortunately the site :

https://secure.bookdepository.com says they ship worldwide but upon purchase I promptly got:

“We can’t ship to that country Unfortunately we are currently unable to ship to the country you have have selected.”

Is there anyway someone can ‘onward’ forward it to me (Kenya)? my workaround for this issue is usually ‘e-books’ which is not available for your book for now.

I am eagerly anticipating the new book which I’ve ordered.

How do I sign up for the online class? Since I am teaching Lean Startup Classes on my own in Atlanta, I would be thrilled to learn exactly what is going on behind the slides you’ve been generous to post.

I find it interesting that Steve, who conceptualized Customer Development, isn’t releasing an ebook version. I’ve gone as far as scan in some parts of 4 steps (i.e. solving my own problem) just so I can have a digital copy. I also regularly search torrent sites in the hope that someone has scanned in your entire book. I have 3 copies of 4 Steps but I’ll gladly buy another if I could find a digital copy somewhere.

Hello Steve–

I live full time as a nomad, I literally have all my possessions in a backpack. Been living this way for four years while doing our startup– its a lot cheaper to live outside the USA which means lower burn rate, and a better understanding of our international customers.

I don’t have a kindle, and will not be getting one.

I’ll buy and read the first book you release for the iBooks platform.

I think there are probably many thousands more people that will read your books if you make kindle and iBooks versions— plus Apple just made it really easy with iBooks Author. You should be able to import your book, and have a college student or someone lay it out for you.

Doing an ebook version will be much more effective at reaching your audience, I believe.

Best wishes.
