content: I wonder, with the world moving to print on demand for low volume books these days, what the cost difference would have been if the author had just used a PoD service and listed on Amazon (like a number of the PoD services do for you) and not run a crowd funded campaign?

content: Crowdfunding = massive free advertising currently.He would only have a fraction of the sales via a POD service and any other marketing channel.

content: I noticed today that the project owner on this one is absolutely deleting critical comments. There was a fairly direct (but a bit nasty) one I spotted earlier today that was asking the project owner to fully disclose his relation to the other two "smartmaker" crowdfunded projects. And now that comment is no longer visible.I suspected some funny business was going on when I noted that the last visible comment was a week ago - it's extremely rare for a highly popular project to go so long without comment.

content: Got mine today in Georgia, no problems with the last page. It's a nice book, especially for beginners who are more immediately interested in getting something working than about the science, math and theory behind it.
