作为一个出版社,搞“开放图书项目”(Open Books Project)是需要勇气的----O'Reilly显然并不缺乏这样的勇气。受益于这个项目的图书(一部分)有:
The Cathedral and the Bazaar
Creating Applications with Mozilla
DocBook: The Definitive Guide
Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason
Free as in Freedom
Learning Debian/GNU Linux
Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition
Linux Network Administrator's Guide, 2nd Edition
MySQL Reference Manual
OpenSources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution
Using Samba, 2nd Edition
Version Control with Subversion
We the Media
Volume 6B: Motif Reference Manual, 2nd Edition
具知,最后三本都是2004年的新书。O'Reilly在网站上提供完全版的pdf文件下载,肯定会影响到纸质书的销量,但对公司形象无疑有所裨益。是的,一个真正为读者考虑的出版社,才会真正赢得读者的信任和支持。
