37Signals have decided to make the content from their (previously $19 a pop) Getting Real book free for everyone.

It’s a great move to generate even more buzz about who they are and how they work – I guess ~$400K was enough for them!

At least this solves the problem I was facing when trying to get clients to read the book, or buying bulk licences for the PDF - I can just send them to the site now.

Is this going to be a trend for self-publishers? Early adopters pay a small fee for the PDF and get a head start on the game, everyone else can get a taste 6 months later? I bet if 37S decided to release another book next week they would see the same number of sales, if not more, as a result of the publicity of releasing Getting Real for free.

What on earth is going on with this kids parents?

It’s wrong on so many levels. Prince Harry should be taking notes.

I would have thought the threat level in the states and the resulting trigger-happiness would be a lot higher than over here. Skin colour aside, if anyone tried that over here they should be worried about their personal safety. They would be in as much danger from the knee-jerk retarded populace as the police!
