+      <div class="body"><p>People keep asking me where to get the various forms of the book I
+published last week, the Norwegian Bokmål edition of Lawrence Lessigs
+book Free Culture.  It was published on paper via lulu.com, and is
+also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI format.  I currently sell the
+paper edition for self cost from lulu.com, but might extend the
+distribution to book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble later.
+This will double the price and force me to make a profit from selling
+the book.  Anyway, here are links to get the book in different
+formats:</p>

+
+<p>Note that the MOBI version have problems with the table of content,
+at least with the viewers I have been able to test.  And the ePub file
+have several problems according to
+<a href="https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck">epubcheck</a>, but seem
+to display fine in the viewers I have tested.  All the files needed to
+create the book in various forms are available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">the
+github project page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The project got press coverage from the Norwegian IT news site
+digi.no.  Check out the article

-      <div class="date"> 3rd September 2015</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
-I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
-the
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Free
-Culture</a> book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
-vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
-were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
-
-<p>But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
-the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
-<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape">#inkscape IRC channel</a>
-on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
-to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
-version.  Not only did he create a
-<a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg ">SVG document with
-the original and his vector version side by side</a>, he even provided
-an <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv">instruction
-video</a> explaining how he did it</a>.  But the instruction video is
-not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
-recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
-the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
-use some keyboard shortcuts that can't be seen on the video, but it
-give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
-stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.</p>
-
-<p>I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
-on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
-current english version look like this:</p>
-
-<img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png" width="70%" align="center"/>
-
-<p>I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
-do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
-hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
-Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
-replaced with the Norwegian version.</p>
-
-<p>The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
-to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
-final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
-before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
-English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I'm waiting to give the the productive
-proof readers a chance to complete their work.</p>
