Why am I having trouble logging in to my Manning account?
Manning switched to a new registration system in the middle of November 2004 and we require new user accounts. Please sign up for a new account.
I purchased my print book from Amazon (or elsewhere) Can I get a free copy of the ebook?
We’re sorry but the free ebook is only available with a paper book purchase from the Manning website. For more information please read our about ebooks page.
My country is not listed on your website order form. How can I purchase an ebook? How can I purchase a paper book?
We unfortunately have been experiencing a lot of online fraud and have had to cut back on the countries we serve. We hope to open up online shopping to more countries again in the future but need to find a better fraud protection solution before we can do that. Hopefully you can still buy our print edition books from a local bookseller. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I tried to register for an account or reset my password but never received an email confirming my password. Can you help?
Our emails are automatically sent out once you have registered with us. If you are not getting it it’s because your SPAM filters are blocking it out. Please reset your filters and check in your junk mail for the email.
Where can I report errors that I read in your books?
Each of our books has an individual page on our website. You can navigate to that page from the Manning catalog. Once on the books page please look in the left hand column for a link to the books Errata where you read about known errors in the books (although we hope they are few and far between). If you discover an error not listed in the Errata, please post the errata information to the Book's Author Online forum (see question below).
Where can I post questions I have about the book?
We host an author online forum for most of our books to post questions, errata reports by customers, and comments. You can also find the Author Online forum for a particular book by going to the book's web page (see the back cover of your book for URL) and looking for the "Author Online" link in the left hand column.
What does an "out of stock" book mean?
Some of our titles are listed along with the retail price but marked "out of stock". Out of stock titles are temporarily unavailable for purchase but Manning plans on printing more copies soon. We recommend that you check the web page from time to time to see when the book is back in stock. Alternatively, you may send an email to Manning Customer Service to ask about the book's anticipated availability date. Unfortunately for many reprints, we don't know exactly when a book will be scheduled for another printing but we will try to give you our best estimate.
What does an "out of print" book mean?
Some of our titles are listed along with the retail price but marked "out of print". Out of print titles are no longer being printed as a "hard copy" by Manning. We no longer produce or sell these books as a physical printed book. Some out of print titles are still available as ebooks. Unfortunately if you need a physical book, you'll need to search for used book sellers who may be carrying used copies of the book.
