Dear contributor to <i>The Wealth of the Commons</i>:<br>
<br>
We have a number of important updates to tell you about!� <br>
<br>"Tthe rest of the
essays in the English edition of the anthology, are now posted
online at <a href="http://www.wealthofthecommons.org" target="_blank">http://www.wealthofthecommons.org</a>!�
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.� <br>
<br>
The German edition of the book is also available online thanks to an
enthusiastic reader who produced a website featuring the essays:� <a href="http://band1.dieweltdercommons.de" target="_blank">http://band1.dieweltdercommons.de</a>�
<i>The Wealth of the Commons</i> 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:� <a href="http://thomaskalka.de/commons-ebook" target="_blank">http://thomaskalka.de/commons-ebook</a><br>
<br>
For those people who prefer to read their books on e-readers, it is
now possible to buy <i>The Wealth of the Commons</i> in Kindle and
Nook formats.� A free epub digital version is also available for
downloads.� (Links to these e-book formats are posted on <a href="http://www.wealthofthecommons.org" target="_blank">http://www.wealthofthecommons.org</a>.)<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.� <br>
