Try it for Free

Let’s say you’ve watched the iMovie and found the story-in-pictures intriguing – the kind of story you might want to read. This is more than you get in the book store by reading the blurb and thumbing through the pages. Online, you might be able to read a sample, but you’re still projecting the overall experience from the blurb. So the iMovie introduction has you interested, but before you commit, you want to know if this guy can write. (Maybe he’s only good at making iMovies.) Whatever your preference in digital vs print, you can still find out for free before getting the final book.

Print book only readers

You like the feel and experience of physical books, and don’t have, or don’t want, an eReader. You can get any of the ePub editions for free and use your phone or computer as the eReader. Here’s how. Try it out, read as much as you want, then decide if you want to get the print book.

Kindle only readers

You already have a Kindle device and like the convenience of Amazon fulfillment. You can get any of the free ePub editions and email the ePub file to your Kindle using Amazon’s free Send to Kindle service:

  1. Attach the .epub file to an email.

  2. Send it to your Kindle address (e.g., yourname@kindle.com).

  3. It will appear on your Kindle or Kindle app just like a purchased book.

You’re already there! Enjoy.

Start with any of the three free methods above, then branch out to your preferred edition after evaluation.

A note about fonts

All of the print and ePub editions have been typeset in a reproduction of the classic 16th century serif font by Claude Garamond (the font you see in the cover image and the banner image at the top of this website). So the look and feel is the same across editions – except for Kindle. The font is embedded in the Kindle edition, but most Amazon readers will replace it with Amazon’s own, more modern Bookerly font for the chapter titles and body text (the default on Kindle devices). You can, however, set your font preference for this particular book to use the embedded Garamond font, like this, and Amazon will honor that. Kindle does otherwise honor the drop-caps, flourishes, and other special fonts (like Fraktur).
