Twilight of the commercial interludes

This world is full of fine-print, especially when it comes to electronic media like this book. Almost all of this fine-print is bullshit, a technical term from the legal trade that means, approximately, "Totally unenforceable, farcical wishlists dreamt up by jerk lawyers working for greedy robber-barons."   There is a notable exception. Below this paragraph is an exciting and dynamic list of booksellers who will get you a copy of this book in exchange for money. And below that is the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 license, a wonder of modern legal work, a block of legalese that actually gives you rightsinstead of taking them away. Pretty cool, huh?
