Business Model Generation on Amazon.com Now

Alexander Osterwalder

The first print-run of Business Model Generation was sold out after a few weeks only. We couldn’t keep up with demand and were out of stock for a while. Now the book is available again. You can get it directly on Amazon.com in a deluxe or portable version.

Business Model Generation has been selling phenomenally well – and that without a publisher and 0 marketing budget. Last week it even ranked #2 in sales of management books on Amazon.com. For this second print-run we decided to produce two slightly different versions: a deluxe version for your office and a portable version for the road.

Deluxe Version

The particularity of the deluxe version is its beautiful cardboard cover and special binding, which allows you to lay it flat open on a table. Yet, it’s not only attractive, but also offers you the perfect working experience that you would expect from a hands-on and practical book. However, be careful: deluxe versions are objects of envy – it’s not unheard of that copies get stolen when you leave them unsupervised on your desk.

Portable Version

We introduced the portable version in order to offer you a lighter and more portable copy at a lower price. The content is the same, but its format (perfect bound and softcover) is designed for taking it on the road. Business Model warriors will likely own both versions. One to show off at their office and one to take with them anywhere they go.

Caveat

Unfortunately, Amazon.com currently restricts us from offering a top-notch service to some customer segments. Readers outside the US cannot benefit from expedited shipping. Also, Amazon.com does not ship the book to Canada, due to internal restrictions. Hopefully, we can find a way around those limitations in the future.

    I have an innovative idea: offer an e-book.

    Hi Alex,

    I check out amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Business-Model-Generation-Visionaries-Challengers/dp/0470876417/) and it says it is only available for pre-order.

    Do you have any idea when will your book be available again ? I really want to get my hands on this one ! :)

    thanks
    Rob

  6. Rob, the book will be available in July in the US and in August in the UK/Europe. The rest of the world will follow..

  7. I just bought your book on Amazon.com. It seems to be shipping to Canada now. If that’s the case I’ll be quite pleased.

    Congrats on the book. I read the 72-page preview on the web-site. It’s excellent. Kudos for turning business model innovation from rocket-science to a do-it-yourselfer.

    Thanks.

  8. Excellent. Glad to hear you liked the preview! Enjoy the book.
