Wow, so this is a little off topic, but I'm constantly rooting around. (Book looks awesome btw, downloaded, and 'hope' to read it).
But I saw that the book was 'free', and I wanted to take a beat on where free things were be published. I checked google with the quoted title, zero results.
Then I went to his site saw three links, download, download+donate, and buy paperback. I struggled here, he was giving me no excuse not to donate if I was going to read the book for free. Then I saw the paperback offer, and thought I don't really consider a "book" a 'book' unless I can put it on my shelf. Thus I would gladly pay for a paperback, and if I like his "book" that is how I would give my return. I want a memento from our "free" digital exchange too, I mean, if the book is worth it's salt.
But that's not the point, point is this guy published through 'LuLu', and LuLu like Google is a name that can mean something simply because it means nothing. Something I'll say to my voice command pc, or when I tell my friends fifty years in the "future" I bought a future-word-for-book off 'LuLu' (post computing ubiquity).
How are they going to win? Look at their community. When I got to the page and played around with the links, I was really blown away. I see this company making it.
