The book is sold here: Lulu.com

The ebook can be viewed and downloaded FREE, here: Scribd.com

for the book was not to sell, but to be viewed. The book is at the standard 300 dots per inch, while the digital ebook is at 72 pixels per inch, which is the display screen resolution. The printed book would be finer.

It’s not like I lose the value of my originals by sharing copies of the book for free. On the other hand, the more people view my images, the more the images become popular and the originals more valuable. It’s a strange thing, because music, for example is the product itself, so downloading free music means less sales.

Then again, I read somewhere that the music industry should have found a way, early on, to profit from filesharing. I creatively found a way to share my works. Scribd.com alone, after 30 days of upload, showed more than 500 views of my file. My rapidshare account had another 400 downloads, and I also found my ebook in other websites, with links to the file that are no longer my original links.
