Heads Down for a Final Draft…
Postings at **Transition Culture** will be somewhat sporadic over the next week or so as I am heads down trying to complete the manuscript of the book I am writing in order to get it into the editor in a few weeks. The working title is **Small is Inevitable: The Coming Transition from Oil Dependency to Local Resilience** and it will be published by Green Books early in 2008. Given that it is a fairly labour-intensive old process I will be cutting back on posting here (you’ll be glad in the long run!). I’m off to ASPO 6 in Cork soon though, and will post some reports from there. In case you are interested, I am speaking at [ASPO6](http://www.aspo-ireland.org/index.cfm?page=aspo6) on the Tuesday afternoon, and am [speaking in Bantry in West Cork that evening](http://www.sustainwestcork.com/node/92) with Albert Bates, Davie Philip and Gregory Greene, and then in Bristol at the Soil Association AGM on Saturday 29th September.

PPS - any chance of a sneak preview?
Also, as regular wholesale a customer of Green Books I’ve spoke to John about giving PDFs away and think it’d be great if your book was released as a PDF too (Ecology of Money, Ecology Begins at Home etc are all available as free PDFs which is fantastic).
When I spoke to John about this he agreed that giving away books as PDFs does paradoxically it does seem to help with sales too.
Perhaps release it under a Creative Commons licence like the excellent book Do it Yourself: A handbook for Changing our World published by Pluto.

Oh no - another book to read! … but then maybe I’ll just ask our local library to get in 1,000 copies
