The size is perfect for carrying in a wallet or purse, to conveniently produce whenever a conversation about art, culture and commerce starts going to crazy-town. How many times have you wanted to explain the problems of copyright simply and clearly? How many times have you longed to deflate pro-patent propaganda, but gotten into a convoluted abstract argument instead? Having these little books on hand can turn a heated debate into a friendly and entertaining conversation. I know, because I carry a prototype with me."</span></div>

</p><p>I'm looking for people to act as distribution points in their cities. The books can be given away for free, shared at conferences, left in art schools & law schools & film schools, hacker spaces, libraries, museums, etc. <b>The main thing is that they reach people who won't just throw them away.</b> This is important! <br>
</p><p>We have New York covered, and Santa Cruz CA and Urbana, IL. But other cities need these. If you want to be responsible for 1,000 minibooks getting in the right hands, please send me your U.S. address and a note about how you might disperse them. Please reply ASAP as the printer needs drop-ship addresses immediately.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p><p>--Nina<br></p></div>
