+Title: Updated sales number for my Free Culture paper editions
+Tags: english, docbook, freeculture
+Date: 2017-06-12 11:40
+
+<p>It is pleasing to see that the work we put down in publishing new
+editions of the classic <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free
+Culture book</a> by the founder of the Creative Commons movement,
+Lawrence Lessig, is still being appreciated.  I had a look at the
+latest sales numbers for the paper edition today.  Not too impressive,
+but some buyers still exist.  All the revenue from the books are sent
+to the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
+Corporation</a>, and they receive the largest cut if you buy directly
+from Lulu.  Most books are sold via Amazon, with Ingram second and
+only a small fraction directly from Lulu.  The ebook edition is
+available for free from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>

+
+<p>A bit sad to see the low sales number on the Norwegian edition, and
+a bit surprising the English edition still selling so well.</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>
