It is pleasing to see that the work we put down in publishing new +editions of the classic Free +Culture book 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 Creative Commons +Corporation, 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 +Github.

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