The book I can get

If only all the books I wanted to read were availiable online...

... I would get blind very soon.

To be serious, for somebody who lives far away from the communications academic world (like in Russia) to get an up-to-date book in communications is a big problem. There are almost no books written in Russian about this field of study; only few are translated into Russian, still most of them are old; and it's almost impossible to get a modern book in a foreign language here.

So while I'm still in Russia I'm very happy when I can find an interesting book availiable online.
This time I have a double luck because the book I found is free (thanks to an Open Books Project).

We The Media Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People
by Dan Gillmor

I'm still only about to read it...
But a comprehensive review for this book is availiable on the blog The Machine Is.
