Purchase and Support

LazyVim For Ambitious Developers will always be free to read online. There is an entire textbook's worth of content here, however. For context, the project has been the equivalent of several months of full time labour, plus ongoing maintenance as LazyVim itself evolves and updates.

If you have the means, please consider supporting this work. Each purchase or donation has the following effects:

  • Encourages me to continue maintaining the book and potentially release new versions as LazyVim evolves.
  • Encourages me to create more deep technical content on my blog or take on other book projects in the future.
  • Supports continued free access to this book for the folks who do not yet have the means to support me.

If you do not have the means to support me financially, please consider sharing the book. And always consider paying it forward. I wouldn't be where I am today without the numerous people who created free content that I absorbed as a youth. If someone one day says, "My writing is influenced by Dusty Phillips", it will be the best compliment I've ever received.

Subscription Services

You can provide ongoing support using Github Sponsor or Patreon .

The advantage of GitHub sponsors is that you can make a one-time payment as well as a regular subscription, and they forward 100% of the subscription to the sponsored developer.

The advantage of a Patreon subscription is that you get early access to all my content. Patreon takes 8% of your donation for themselves. That means for a $10 sponsorship, I will receive $9.20 per month.

Purchase the LazyVim for Ambitious Developers Ebook

You can also purchase a copy of the book. Ebooks are now available, and the print edition will be released on this page in a couple weeks.

You can purchase a copy of the ebook for $8.00 USD (or more, at your discretion) through PayHip . You will be given access to a zip file containing the epub and pdf >versions of the book.

Payhip takes 5% of each purchase, and PayPal will also take additional fees, which vary depending which payment method you use. If you purchase the ebooks for $10, I will receive around $9.

The book is also available on Google Play Books for $12.00 CAD converted to worldwide prices on demand. Google takes 30% of this.

I am not making the book available through Kindle or Apple books at this time.

When choosing how much to spend on the ebook, consider that ebook versions of similar-length books on Vim go for around $30 USD.

Purchase LazyVim for Ambitious Developers in Print

If you like physical books, the print version of LazyVim for Ambitious Developers is a treat! I've chosen to make a premium hardcover version in full colour. This means it's not cheap to print.

You can purchase the hardcover for $45.00 USD (or more, at your discretion) through PayHip . The book is printed on demand and shipped to your door.

The book is printed through BookVault.

The base printing fees are around $30 USD for me. Payhip takes 5% of each purchase and Paypal takes additional fees depending on your chosen payment method. If you purchase the ebook for $60 USD, I will receive just under $20. When choosing a price, consider that comparable books are neither hardcover nor-full colour and cost around $40.00 USD.

I have registered to have it made available through other retail channels, but there is a two month turn-around time.
