A couple of years ago, I written an intro to tmux (https://tmux.github.io/) inside tmuxp's (https://github.com/tony/tmuxp) documentation called The Tao of tmux (https://tmuxp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about_tmux.html). I'm in the process of turning it into a feature book.

I am aiming for a December 23rd, 2016 release and am plugging away full time.

I make it available to read on the web for free at https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.

The GitHub is at https://github.com/git-pull/tao-of-tmux.

For pre-ordering:

- The Leanpub page (updated on a regular basis) is https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux.

- Amazon Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG342KU

- iTunes: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-tao-of-tmux/id1168912720

Also I have a coupon for pre-orders @ $7.99 https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/c/oBsI4y3o4quu.

So there are 2 other books available in the now. I prefer my style of writing about tmux and teaching, since I maintain a few open source libraries for tmux I bring my own perspective along. Also I'd rather stay away from publishers, again, I prefer a book that's available for free to read on the web, DRM-free if you pay, and not have to worry about printing :). It's my first book ever so I feel a lot of pressure to get it done right.

I'm definitely open to feedback and requests to add things. I feel a duty to make a really good book for the community. Any help to spread the word is much appreciated!
