Top Selling Books at Lotusphere 2012 – See what you missed. #ls12

I just finished writing up a sales report for the bookstore at Lotusphere.  Overall sales were a little down this year.  I think it’s because the bookstore was in the back of the Solutions Center.  Who is in favor of having the bookstore by the registration area?  Let me know and I will  see if we can get it moved.

Some highlights:

• Get Bold by IBM’s Sandy Carter sold like hotcakes.  Everyone is who isn’t focused on building a social business should be.
• We began taking orders for the upcoming new XPages Portable Command Guide.  It’s out in a month.
• New Sametime Admin book sold out.  Great author team!
• Folks enjoyed meeting Sir Tim Berners-Lee – author of Weaving the Web

IBM Sandy_Carter teaches organizations how to GET BOLD and create a Social Business

 

The hottest pre-order book on the IBM Press Book website is Sandy Carter’s Get BOLD.  At IBM, I think of this VP as Social Media Sandy.  She has been entrenched in Social Media/Social Business since the start of the evolution.  Or is a marketing evolution?   She was writing about it before I knew what it was.  Her teams were using the tools in their infancy and I found myself learning and doing by following their lead.  Oh  - they are using YouTube.  They send messages from Twitter.  They have a Facebook page.  I was able to transform IBM Press Book marketing by watching.  But enough about me.  Sandy has the coolest title at IBM – Vice President of Social Business Evangelism.  Her newest book, Get Bold: Using Medial To Create a New Type of Social Business  is publishing in a few weeks and Amazon has it as 35% off.

There’s a whole page about the book here and  you can get chapter for FREE.  p.s. There are case studies galore – which is always my favorite part!
