Giving It Away

A quick piece I did for BookBrunch today, on the topic of giving stuff away for free:

The article may soon go behind their paywall, so is also attached here as pdf.

Is there a link to the first Youtube release? Is it already out there or does it start next Tuesday?

It's gone now, part two is up and part three will be up next Tuesday when part 2 will also disappear... p.

So too late for us to listen to the beginning and not much point in trying to play catchup

Interesting sales tactic though. The price of the audio on Amazon sure does reflect the cost of having a famous reader. Is that worthwhile I wonder?

 

[AgentPete]

The price is almost notional. Very few people will buy the CD box set. Instead, Amazon use this price to make an Audible subscription seem like great value.
