not the first

Darn you're right. it's not the first! Thank-you Michael. Somehow "ITIL V3 Guide to Software Asset Management" hasn't really grabbed my attention, but I should have remembered "ITIL V3 Small Scale Implementation" since I already own it. And before anyone else writes in, there is a series of "ITIL V3 Intermediate Capability Handbooks".

Sorry folks, clearly no fact checking preceded this post.

Still nice to see "V3" carved in stone anyway.

Other official V3 books

You could be right Geoff. The "ITIL V3 Guide to Software Asset Management" is also official and there was also a V2 version of this book.

But what about "ITIL V3 Small Scale Implementation". It got the OGC logo on the cover and is published by the official ITIL publisher TSO. I guess this publication is the first with a V3 stamp.

You also got the "ITIL V3 Foundation Handbook", which doesn't have any OGC or APMG logos, but still is published by TSO.

Michael.

A great book, too!

I think it was because, unlike other V3 books, it has the same title as the V2 book.

It is excellent - see my review (30 Nov) on ITSM Portal website.
