+      <div class="body"><p>As my regular readers probably remember, I published a French and
+Norwegian translation of the classic Free Culture book by the founder
+of the Creative Commons movement, Lawrence Lessig, the last year.  A
+bit less known is the fact that due to the way I created the
+translations, using docbook and po4a, and also recreated the English
+original.  And because I already had created a new the PDF edition, I
+published it too.  The revenue from the book is sent to the Creative
+Commons Corporation.  So I do not earn any money from the project, I
+just earn the warm fuzzy feeling that the text is available for a
+wider audience and more people can learn why the Creative Commons is
+needed.</p>
+
+<p>Today, just for fun, I had a look at the sales number over at
+Lulu.com, which take care of payment, printing and shipping.  Much to
+my surprise, the English edition is selling better than both the
+French and Norwegian edition, despite the fact that it has been
+available in English since it was first published.  In total, 24 paper
+books was sold for USD $19.99 between 2016-01-01 and 2016-07-31:</p>

+</table>
+
+<p>The books are available both from Lulu.com and from large book
+stores like Amazon and Barnes&Noble.  Most revenue, around $10 per
+book, is sent to the Creative Commons project when the book is sold
+directly by Lulu.com.  The summary from Lulu tell me 10 books was sold
+via the Amazon channel, 10 via Ingram (what is this?) and 4 directly
+by Lulu.  And Lulu.com tells me that the revenue sent so far this year
+is USD $101.42.  No idea what kind of sales numbers to expect, so I do
+not know if that is a good amount of sales for a 10 year old book or
+not.  But it make me happy that the buyers find the book, and I hope
+they enjoy reading it as much as I did.</p>
+
+<p>The ebook edition is available for free from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native
+language, I would be happy to help make it happen.  Please get in
+touch.</p>
