Link to the actual book: http://www.scribd.com/doc/52729281/The-Best-Of-edw519

I really like this idea and will buy the book. However, it would be nice if the comments were time-stamped, as not all advice is timeless.

Anyone know of any other forum-comments-turned-book examples?

EDIT: I would buy it if I didn't have to be a US citizen to buy a digital book in scribd. Why is this a problem for a book like this?

I originally planned to provide a link to the original but decided to keep it simple.

Do you mean a link or the original date?

[EDIT: Original date done in next release. Thank you, zyfo.]


Good find. I believe Amazon allows you to sell ebooks internationally, I could be wrong though.


It does.


David Pogue crowd-sourced a book from Twitter. http://www.amazon.com/World-According-Twitter-David-Pogue/dp...


perhaps the author can offer the ebook on their site/blog with a paypal payment for the PDF. Living in the UK and cannot purchase this at the mo.


Not quite a book, but most of the (unpublished) essays I write start out as simple forum posts.
