Andy,
This is a beautiful document. Wonderfully illustrative photos and short
rich text.
When will it be available from IDRC? Any idea of cost?
Also, you need an up to date version of Acrobat or the Acrobat Reader to
really view it. Otherwise the text tends to overlap.

Hi everyone,
At 7pm on Thursday, April 6, I'm going to be giving a preview of my
new book, "From the Ground Up: Evolution of the Telecentre Movement,"
at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Every Thursday,
a group of local bloggers get together to discuss Internet issues, and
I'll be talking about the book for this week's meeting.
The book, edited by me and Mark Surman of Telecentre.org, explores the
diversity of public computing initiatives around the world, examining
the common visions and goals that unite them. It's intended to inspire
technology activists to realize that they're part of a worldwide
movement to bridge the digital divide, rather than working in
isolation. The book will be distributed this spring by IDRC in Canada,
but for now you can review a very large PDF version (It's around 10
megabytes - a necessary evil given the hundreds of photographs in the
book.) An accessible HTML version will be made available when IDRC
begins distributing the book.

I've also posted screen shots from the book on my blog:

If you happen to be in the Boston area, please feel free to join us
Thursday evening at Berkman. It'll take place at 7 PM at Baker House,
1587 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, north of Harvard Square. Hope to
see some of you there!
thanks,
andy
