Very much a #Kickstarter for our times -- @pluralistic has assembled his thoughts on the concept of #Enshittification into a book: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/enshittification-the-drm-free-audiobook

The audiobook is self-published as usual (to work around The Audible Problem), and I'm expecting it to be fascinating.

Check it out!

#CoryDoctorow hat versehentlich eine deutsche Hörbuchfassung von #RedTeamBlues am Start, die über #Kickstarter bestellt werden kann: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/red-team-blues-auf-deutsche-drm-freie (gelesen von #UveTeschner, übersetzt von #JürgenLangowski).

Solche G'schichten schreibt nur das Leben, und da mir das Buch sehr gefallen hat (auf Englisch) und es #DRMfrei ist, bewerbe ich das jetzt hier mal.

Brauche eine 🤩-Variante mit Sternen als Ohren!?! #Cory_Doctorow#Hörbuch #audiobook

I wasn't expecting this to go live so soon but here's a little project I'm collaborating on with Jay Smith. The aim is to reprint the Coast Manual of Lettering and Designs (1907).

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coastmanual/the-coast-manual-of-lettering-and-designs?ref=dp310a

The manual is one of the rarest sign painting books out there, and it was a series of lucky events that led to Jay having a copy in his possession: https://bl.ag/bookish-good-luck-at-mclellan-signs-in-nampa-idaho/#mclellan-signs-nampa-idaho.

I'll share more with mailing list subscribers soon, but please back it and boost 😊

Good news Friday... Kickstarter have classified the project to bring back the Coast Manual as a "project we love". (A good omen @glennf?) And it's 30% funded.

Find out more and back the book here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coastmanual/the-coast-manual-of-lettering-and-designs?ref=dp310a
