I encourage everyone to use the preprint option to post their piece on ssrn.com and academia.edu, perhaps others have other open access suggestions (e.g. Institutional Repositories of individual universities) On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at 3:47 PM, Christian Fuchs <christian.fuchs@uti.at> wrote:
Hello
I contributed to the volume and think it is a very good book.
But I also think that it is too expensive - both the paper edition and the ebook (also €40 for an ebook is a lot).
Handbooks and companions seem at the moment to be a very popular capital accumulation strategy among conventional publishers...
We nowadays all too often end up with books that have great contents and that nobody can read/afford...
Open access book publishing is an alternative, but many of its models just want to put the costs for it on the author-side with high book publishing fees, which is also not acceptable... And non-profit OA book publishers have a good potential - but tend to face a lack of funding and support and are often based on lots of voluntary labour and have to be very selective...
There is no good book publishing model at the moment that guarantees fair/open access, fair prices for the printed editions, and fair payment of workers in the publishing industry... The money that goes into expensive library journal subscription should go into funds for non-profit open access book and journal publishing, advertising be taxed and redistributed to non-profit OA and other non-profit media, etc...

Hi Stephen-
Amazon says the list price is $240. I know about library pricing and such (and have opinions about it), but don’t we want people who don’t have access to university libraries reading our work?
I’d love to buy it, but not at that price.

PS: Yes, a can of worms, I know. I don’t have the answer.

‘The Handbook of Digital Politics edited by Stephen Coleman and Deen Freelon is an incredibly rich and outstanding collection of essays on the ideologies, theories and methodologies that currently inspire the field of political science and communication. The editors brilliantly succeed in guiding us through this fascinating world – avoiding any rhetoric, or either a dystopian or utopian perspective on the subject. The articles collected here represent the golden section of the contemporary debate on digital politics.’ – Leopoldina Fortunati, Head of the Ph.D program in Multimedia Communication, University of Udine, Italy
‘Coleman and Freelon have deftly edited a series of essays that help us transition to the next big thing in political communication—an internet connecting many people over many kinds of devices, making large volumes of data. Digital politics is no longer so much about what happens in your browser, but about what happens when your devices talk to each other on their own. This collection helps us to get ready to understand the new infrastructure of political life.’ – Philip N. Howard, University of Washington, US
Stephen Coleman Professor of Political Communication School of Media and Communication University of Leeds
