The book is for people who are not already programmers so it seems unlikely to me that Zed's reputation would be any sort of factor.
I agree that charging anything for it would have reduced the download count to about 10% of whatever the total is.

- gatzby3jr 16y agoMy friend recently came to me stating that he wanted to learn programming. I directed him to Zed's book.
