- shric 6y agoBased on https://sive.rs/m https://sive.rs/m and https://sive.rs/n https://sive.rs/n he's self-publishing electronically for $15 (or $4 more for paperback), so I guess the costs are quite small.
- jbc1 6y agoSounds like Derek Sivers did. Wouldn't be his first time giving to charity.
- hypersundays 6y agoHe has a blog post on the site about the approach he took. Instead of going to Penguin to get his book published, he decided to try doing the whole process himself. That included getting translations done, coordinating printing, building a webstore, etc. It's pretty cool tbh
- grativo 6y agoThis is very true, in his about me page, he says that he does not rely on any type of cloud and hosts through his own servers. A very unique approach indeed.
