Turning the Page

WITH 2016 RAPIDLY APPROACHING, I’m gearing up to put out the next annual edition of the Jonathan Clements Money Guide. It’s the same drill as last year: I wait for the markets to close, spend the next few hours updating a slew of numbers throughout the manuscript, send off the files to Amazon and Barnes & Noble—and, fingers crossed, the book is available for sale the following afternoon.

I’ll go through this exercise twice, first on Nov. 30 and again on Dec. 31. The Nov. 30 edition will only be available as a paperback—I’m hoping folks will buy it for the holidays—while the Dec. 31 version will be available as a paperback, Kindle e-book and Nook e-book. You can now pre-order the Kindle edition, which costs $9.99. The book’s Amazon page says it will be auto-delivered on Jan. 15 but, barring technological glitches, it should be out Jan. 1.
