A reminder that there is an actual "Mastodon for Dummies" book available in physical, ebook and audiobook, from any good bookseller:

dummies.com/book/technology/so

The authors are @chrisminnick and @workingwriter

A lot of people prefer getting their info from books, and this is aimed at them. I bought a copy and it was great 👍

Not going to link to a specific bookseller, but they all have it, and local bookshops will be able to get it for you if you ask them to order it! 📚

@feditips @workingwriter

I actually had no idea there was an audio book version coming out! That's exciting!

@chrisminnick @workingwriter

Uh oh... hope I haven't been misinformed?

I saw audiobook listed for the book's page on a major online book seller, so I assumed this had been released :/

Looking at it again, it says it hasn't been released. Guessing the listing was a mistake?

@feditips @workingwriter

It looks like there's a narrator and a release date, so I don't think it's a mistake! The publisher usually does translations and adaptations without us knowing...it's just cool to see that it's happening!

@chrisminnick @feditips And they didn’t even ask us about our vocal talents???

@workingwriter @chrisminnick

Ahh, it says audiobook release date is 27th June! Okay... I guess I should have waited a bit on this post, but at least it's not too long!

Congrats on getting your book into audio! 👏
