The Beast

The last post was No. 666. Dan Visel has just written to say that our interview is now online on Future of the Book. FOTB has a spectacularly handsome website which is, apparently, powered by Movable Type ; it's sad, sad, deeply sad that I don't have the technical expertise to move up to MT. Link

P**P*l

A couple of readers have tried to buy Your Name Here and been sent back to the blog rather than to the download page. Other readers say they were directed to the download page with no trouble at all.

I've tried to write to the most recent buyers but have not worked my way back up through the e-mails. If you tried to buy YNH and failed, please do send me an e-mail and I'll send you the link.

by popular demand

Readers who have seen the online YNH forum have been asking whether it is possible to buy a copy of Your Name Here in PDF.

Your Name Here currently includes a large number of images for which permission has not been cleared. It's normally not possible to clear permission until a publisher has been found for a book, so it shouldn't be sold in that form in PDF in the meantime. TARARTRAT suggested some time ago taking the images out and giving people the links to places where they could be found online. I've been trying to do this. Unfortunately some of the links I have no longer work; I am posting these images on the blog in the hope that someone may recognise one or more and know the source.

This is the list of images. A copy of YOUR NAME HERE with placeholders for the images is now available for $8 by PayPal, payments to be sent to hdewitt@onetel.com; readers can decide for themselves whether they want to track down the images and see what should go in the finished book.

Picture permissions

As I've explained, I need to find the owners of the following images (the links I kept to the sources don't work, so I don't know how to track them down). If you happen to recognise one or more and know where it came from please let me know.
