I just got copies of the books yesterday, so have only had a chance to flip through them. Fortunately, they’re organized to make such flipping a useful activity: while either book could be read from cover to cover, the division of chapters in each makes it easy to find the exact information you want.\u00a0 I particularly like the layout of Your Life<\/em>, as it combines substantive sections on greening your home (inside and out) and lifestyle with short, self-explanatory tips set off in text boxes. My Office Handbook<\/em> doesn’t just look at paper and energy use at work, but uses the framework of the typical workday: getting ready in the morning, traveling to work, and even eating lunch. The information I read looks solid, and I can definitely see the advantages (especially for “green newbies”) of having all of this information centralized in one place.<\/p>\n To celebrate the launch of the books, AboutMyPlanet is offering a special for “early adopters”: a discounted price ($19.99 vs. $29.99), and a host of other special goodies.\u00a0 Also, AMP has partnered with our good friends at EcoLibris<\/a>, and will be planting trees for each book sold (early buyers get a bonus there, too!). The special price and bonuses are limited to either the first 100 purchasers, or the first three days of sales — so, either way, it’s no longer available at the end of the day tomorrow. Whether you buy early or later, these ebooks look like they’ll provide a great resource for newbies and “treehuggers” alike… we can all use reminders!<\/p>\n If you decide to take advantage of this offer, let me know what you think of the books. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these kinds of offerings become more common on the green web, so thanks to AMP for giving the rest of us the push to get going…<\/p>\n
