Cult of Mac and Cult of iPod - free! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago  
http://nostarch.com/blog/?p=127

We’re live with torrents for Cult of Mac and Cult of iPod, by Leander Kahney of Wired.com. Yes, we’re giving the electronic files away.

These are two beautiful books. One, Cult of iPod, won several design awards. Our designer, Derek Yee, did a really amazing job with both books and we’re very proud of them. If you haven’t seen them you’ll be impressed. The design of both of these books will stand up to book design anywhere.

We’ll be watching to see if making the electronic versions of these books available for free has any effect whatsoever on book sales. And if there is some noticeable effect whether it’s a positive one. I hope so because I think P2P can be a very good and powerful too.

In today’s electronic world we can choose to fight a losing battle with DRM, or we can take a counter-intuitive approach and turn things on their head.

They are indeed two very very good books!

Phil
