As some of you may know, a couple of years back I got all excited about finally being able to launch a wee project I had had on and off the burner for the better part of ten years. That project is called Urban Driftwood, a collection of poetry and short prosaic pieces, like stories but different, by myself and some of my local contemporaries. You can read all about it here.
Amidst a veritable gale of fanfare, the paperback went live and soon after I made the PDF available for free for anyone who wanted to read it.
Now, the good folks at lulu.com have gone to all the effort of converting Urban Driftwood into an ebook and they have released it over at the iBookstore and at Barnes & Noble, for iDevices and the Nook reader, respectively. It is also available as an ebook at the Lulu site.
So, if you haven’t already got a copy, you now have a few choices:
Grab a free PDF either from here or from Lulu.com;
Show your support by picking up a copy for your iPod, iPhone or iPad from the iBookstore or for your Nook from B&N for just $3.99;
Get the ebook for free from Lulu.com.
Why would I be promoting the free version of the product when there is a paid version out there? Well, I want people to read this book, and I never expected to make any money out of it in the first place. If you decide it’s worth paying a little bit for, or if you like the free version and would like a hard copy for your shelf or to share around, then I’ll appreciate that, too.
But most of all, this is a nice little book that just wants to be read, and it doesn’t mind how that happens.
So go on, get yourself a copy and enjoy a little wonder for a while.
