Free John Sinclaire.

And while you're at it: "Free Computers. End Money."

This was the great graffiti I saw scrawled on a wall on my trip to Montreal in 1988.

I love the Quark crop marks in the ad. Nice to see Quark represented even if me and every designer I know hates it.

What have you got against Paul Rudd?

"60% of the time, it works every time."

I thank you Sean Nelson, Emeritus. I tried to read this book after I checked it out from the library, but this is a hard book to get through in 3 weeks. It's the kind of book you need months, perhaps years to really understand. The Audiobook is much easier to get through, and since I now own it, can re-listen over and over again.

Hooray!

And nothing, #3! I'm pro-Rudded. He's on the audio, not the book.

Ok, I am apparently stupid. But how do I find this freebie, if indeed it is still up there? In the audiobooks section? Do I have to buy something else first to get Hodgman?

Wahoo! Thanks for putting the word out, Sean! It's downloading as I speak!

Eli - go to the Audiobooks section. There is a little promotion for it at the top of the page.

Sean, thanks for the great tip.

Eli -- If you have Itunes on your machine, just click on Itunes Store and from there scroll down to where it says "FREE on Itunes"

Or just type Hodgman in the search field of I-tunes.

Now if they would offer Assassination Vacation by Sara Vowell, that would be a super great Xmas.

Got it, downloading now, thanks!

Awesome--thanks Sean. I've had a copy of that book for far too long and can't seem to commit to finishing it. I have a long road trip for the holidays, so this is perfect!

Quark crop marks? Those crop marks long predate Quark. You might as well call them PageMaker crop marks, but they predate PageMaker too.

If only I had electricity, I could log onto iTunes...

I hope this is better spoken than in print. I read for 100 pages waiting for it to be funny before giving up. I'll give John 30 minutes of audiobook time, but that doesn't replace the 4 hours of my life I lost reading what I did... =/
