![]() It's a work that I stumbled across that's sought out by a small circle of Philip K Dick fans. For example, I've wishlisted a very good biography by Greg Rickmann of Philip K. This is a brilliant way to deal with some of those really important and hard to find out of print books. They also have a mechanism for adding books to a "wishlist" that will give them an indication of works that people want and what right-holders they should track down. It's a way of "front-loading" profits so the author can be compensated for their work, but the world gets access. Working with right-holders in a kickstarter style to raise enough money to license an ebook a creative commons non-commercial license. ![]() , started by Eric Hellman ( aka GlueJar ) and other folks w/ connections to Code4Lib, is a effort to release copyrighted books to the world. Those following me in my various social circles are probably already sick of hearing about this, but launched yesterday. ![]()
