[ih] New history of the Internet

[Richard Bennett]

  It's worth noting that the last two Internet history books published - 
this one and the Van Schewick that MIT Press recently released  - are 
both only available in paper format. It makes you wonder about the 
publishers. John Day's Patterns in Network Architecture from Prentice 
Hall was available in electronic format from day 1, so to speak.

It's sad when the only way you can an eBook is to pirate it.
