"Why am I doing this? Because my problem isn't piracy, it's obscurity (thanks, @timoreilly for this awesome aphorism). Because free ebooks sell print books. Because I copied my ass off when I was 17 and grew up to spend practically every discretionary cent I have on books when I became an adult. Because I can't stop you from sharing it (zeroes and ones aren't ever going to get harder to copy); and because readers have shared the books they loved forever; so I might as well enlist you to the cause."

Turning My Blog Into A Book

This essay covers the process I went through to produce a book, Bricklin on Technology, based upon material I had previously published on the web. It is not meant as a "how to" for everybody but rather as food for thought for others considering doing the same. A lot of the information I see on the Web about doing this is centered around how to get a book contract, or how to structure your new blog as a gateway to a book, or publishing it yourself. Like many bloggers, I had access to publishing through success in other endeavors and through success of my blog. My issue was more about extracting something for print and getting a whole which is greater than the sum of its parts, while preserving the feel of the original.
