---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Bollier <[email protected]> Date: Wed, May 1, 2013 at 2:40 AM Subject: Updates on The Wealth of the Commons To: David Bollier <[email protected]> Dear contributor to *The Wealth of the Commons*: We have a number of important updates to tell you about! "Tthe rest of the essays in the English edition of the anthology, are now posted online at http://www.wealthofthecommons.org! If you go to the website and click on the "Contents" tab, you can find an online posting of your essay. Each essay has its own permanent link, so we invite you to share the link with others. The English edition is being posted online thanks to a special agreement with the publisher, Levellers Press, six months after publication of the print edition. The German edition of the book is also available online thanks to an enthusiastic reader who produced a website featuring the essays: http://band1.dieweltdercommons.de *The Wealth of the Commons* has so far been a big success in its German version, and we strongly hope that it will enter more university libraries there. (If it is not already available in yours, please drop a note to the librarian!) Another German reader took the trouble to create a downloadable e-book version: http://thomaskalka.de/commons-ebook For those people who prefer to read their books on e-readers, it is now possible to buy *The Wealth of the Commons* in Kindle and Nook formats. A free epub digital version is also available for downloads. (Links to these e-book formats are posted on http://www.wealthofthecommons.org.) We invite you to use this occasion to publicize the book -- both the English and German versions, and the new online and e-book versions -- through your spheres of interest and influence on email lists, Twitter, Facebook and other channels. We are hopeful that several translations of the book will be made (and perhaps "adaptations" that include new, country-specific essays). We are currently in touch with publishers in Italy and France, for example, and commoners in a number of other countries have expressed an interest in adapting the book. Please recall that the entire book is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which means that the essays can be copied and shared without permission provided that credit is given to the author of the essay and to "The Wealth of the Commons."
