Of course, anyone aware of both of these facts will probably be smart enough to:
- Download the book, if they want to.
- Send money directly to the foundation (cutting out the publisher
and any other intermediaries), if they want to.
Both of which activities are entirely encouraged :) But if folks do want a physical book (which is something that we see a market for, or we wouldn't be doing this) I hope that they will also buy a printed copy.
I look forward to ample copies being brought to Alexandria where all four authors can be there to autograph them. 8-)

Yes! Hopefully all four authors will make it this year, though that remains to be seen. And I am not totally sure about the advisability of hauling a box of books half-way around the world... but these are minor details. You shall get an autographed copy :)
