An excellent book on open access, but, not available through open access! Indeed, the monograph, still the golden coin of the realm in the humanities, is almost never made publicly and freely available. Access is one half, copyright the other. Let's encourage open access AND creative commons.
Actually, the book is available as an open access item through the publisher, MIT Press. You need to register with the Press, but it's painless:
