Do you do the graphic design for your eBooks yourself or do you use a designer?

If you use a designer, would you mind sharing their info.

Thanks.

How ironic is it to advertise a book that should tell you exactly that you should not buy it in order to leave a minimalist life :) Irony aside, from what I read on your minimalist website, it seems to me that I was almost living such a life and just did not know about it. But it surely feels quite good indeed :) I don’t want to sound mean, but wasn’t minimalism exactly about *not* rushing to buy something when you want to make a change in your life?

Having said that I think it's brilliant what you are doing with the money Leo and wish you all the best with it!

I could go on and on about it, but that would go against the foundations of minimalism, wouldn't it? ;-) Love, love, love the new site, Leo!

I'll wait until someone else copies it and uploads it for free. Then I'll read it. Thanks for making this book non-copyrighted. This makes it possible for anyone to legally copy it.

Read the preview, and it looks very nice. I tried to buy it, but since I never finished validating my credit card on Paypal, it seems like I cant buy it. Congrats with your book.

I copyright my stuff but it's probably a futile exercise. Just look at the huge amount of 'illegal' copying of music and software. The genie's long out of the bottle. MIT figured it out almost 10 years ago when it decided to make all of its information publicly available.
