Dear Readers,

"If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before." Mitchell Burgess

2010 has been an exciting year for SAS Publishing. Here are some of our reflections:

  • Shelly Goodin from SAS Press has added YouTube videos and podcasts by the score.
  • Our Facebook family has grown to almost 4,000 people.
  • Open Mic, SAS Publishing's blog, has over 100 entries and more on tap before the year ends.
  • We introduced our first BookBytes and have more in the works.
  • Sandy Varner and Emily Scheviak from SAS Publishing have been increasing the number of our titles available through Kindle so that you can have the information you need when you need it.
  • Based on feedback from you, our users, we launched a revamped New to SAS section on our Web to help our newer users find the resources we have to make the most of SAS.

These are just a few of the highlights. We extend a special thank-you to all our SAS Publishing customers. Without you, your feedback, and your loyalty, we could not have accomplished all of this.

Feel free to let us know other ways that we can help you find the information and news that you are looking for. And as always, thanks for being a subscriber.
