    I'm glad to see that Utopia will be free (as in speech)... You should check out Lewis Hyde's Common as Air for a really quite relevant take on the pre-modern commons and its digital corollaries.

    I second Mark's recommendation of Endicia for your initial batch, though I agree with Todd that you should look at fulfillment or a book distributor once you are done with the first round.
