I especially liked it how he saw the market as a zero sum game, but only for people who put stuff online to "undercut the rest of it." Isn't everyone trying to sell a book going to "undercut" everyone else if they sell their book? It sounds like he's against marketing or something which I guess I can relate to.<BR/><BR/>I am surprised that he didn't bring Heinlein in, though, w/ his idea of trying to "undercut" (my word) the beer market. That is he said he was trying to compete with beer in the mind of an average Joe. <BR/><BR/>As for me, if I'm going to drink a beer, I'll probably need a book to read while I do so. Therefore, I'll buy both. Oh, I was going to buy a book today, but I can't b/c I used that time up reading the "webscab" article. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301700579040384196.post-84297645702434232222007-04-23T04:17:00.000-07:002007-04-23T04:17:00.000-07:00Love the peasandcarrots!Love the peasandcarrots!Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372732597674484796noreply@blogger.com
