Today I purchased 37signals’ new book ‘Getting Real‘.

I’ve been reading Signal Vs. Noise for a while now and I really appreciate the approach these guys have to a number of areas; application design, development, running a biz, project management, and so on. We do have their first book, Defensive Design for the Web, in the studio at work but I haven’t spent more than 5 minutes glancing at it so that wasn’t really a factor in deciding whether or not to fork out the USD$19 for the e-book.

It looks like an interesting book and stealing from their sales pitch: “This is not a technical book or a design tutorial, it’s a book of ideas.”

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve finished.
