Free Speech Takes On a New Meaning
The publisher of a 522-page compendium of 77 of Sen. Obama’s most memorable speeches — entitled “Best Speeches of Barack Obama” — is offering a free download of the book from their website, reports the New York Press.
“If the insides appeal to them, they are going to want the print edition in addition to the e-book,” said Jaclyn Easton, President of Publishing 180. Though I’m not sure I follow the logic there, I’m always up for a free book.
According to the publisher’s site, the book is “uncensored” and includes seven commencement addresses, all of Sen. Obama’s major floor statements, transcripts of his podcasts, and “Keynote addresses at high-profile events like the Robert Kennedy Human Rights Award, the National Press Club Dinner, World AIDS Day, his visit to the University of Nairobi, the AFL-CIO convention and much more.” We are helpfully reminded: “This is Obama in his own words. No media spin.”

Just wanted to reply to the part of this that seems illogical. Because the book is so big, 522 pages, we believe that if the content appeals to folks once they get to see it thoroughly with the PDF, the will want to get the print edtion also to avoid having to read it on-screen. Hope that makes more sense.
