We’re thrilled to let you know that FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual is now available for sale. This sequel to the best selling FileMaker book out there was written by yours truly (Six Fried Rice co-owner Geoff Coffey), and the amazing Susan Prosser. You can read more about it [here](http://sixfriedrice.com/wp/products/filemaker-pro-missing-manual/) where you can also find a free sample chapter.
>Reality Check: How crazy do you have to be to buy a book for $35 that you can buy straight from Amazon.com for just $23? Apparently crazier than the *really smart people* who come to Six Fried Rice. Honestly, we were as surprised as anyone to see the incredibly low price Amazon now has the book at. So by all means, [buy it there](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FFileMaker-Pro-9-Missing-Manual%2Fdp%2F0596514131%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1185994593%26sr%3D8-2&tag=sifrri-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325). In fact, we’ve reconnected the Buy button on our web page to link directly to Amazon using one of those “give-us-a-cut” type links. So now if you buy from them, we get a whopping $0.90. Which is more than we’d make if we sold the thing for $23.
> Seriously though, this way you get the best price possible, and Jesse can pay off his Fast Cash title loan a little quicker.
You can buy directly from Six Fried Rice. Just visit the [_FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual_ page](http://sixfriedrice.com/wp/products/filemaker-pro-missing-manual/) and click Buy Now. We have a handful in stock, and while supplies last we’re offering free shipping to any US address. If you like the FileMaker content, casual style, and precise instruction you find here on Six Fried Rice, you’ll love FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual.
>Note: Although this book covers every feature of FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced, it is not a “tips and tricks” book, nor is it a reference guide. It is meant to help beginners learn FileMaker the right way, and more experienced users learn how to get the most from FileMaker. If you’re an extreme FileMaker rock-star looking for over-the-top techniques, this may not be the book for you. Just felt like you deserved fair warning.
Congrats, guys. Writing a tech book is an enormous effort. Here’s hoping you make at least 4-figures off of it. 😉
Picked up the book this past weekend. Great book for beginners and experts alike!

@all: We came to our senses and started linking to Amazon, where you can get a much better price than we could ever manage to offer directly. I updated the text of this post accordingly. We also refunded the difference on the price to everyone who purchased from us at $35. Which was really easy because nobody did. Hope you like the book 🙂
