A year or so ago I bought "On the Edge: the Spectacular rise and fall of Commodore".  Good book...now it just sits there.  So that got me thinking...how about I send it to someone to read it?  You write your name (print...not sign), city/state/country on the inside flap or back inside page if it ever got full...then send to someone else.  I'd like to have the book back after its all signed, hopefully all over the world so we can see how far its travelled.  This is based on trust...so I hope nobody keeps it or something.

What do you'all think?


 Wow brilliant idea ,im sure your book will be safe and returned ,i will get me name down ,best wishes Brian.

I think that is a great idea.  They are great books (version 1 and version 2).

I was told by the publisher that they are releasing version 2 in ebook format if anyone is interested.


Cheers,

Why would he care whether it is scanned+uploaded or just lent around? He loses sales either way.

While we're at it, lets ban libraries as well.

Yes, exactly. It highlights the inconsistency of so-called "intellectual property" laws. If people having access to things without having to pay was as bad as they made out, every publisher would be out of business long ago. They can't have it both ways.

nah silly, they are probably just "upgrading" them to "eLibraries" where you can borrow electronic versions for your tablet. :)

No its called being patient.  I'm a busy man.  I will send out this FREE book to READ as soon as I get a chance.
