Scribd Launches "Liberate the

Written Word"
Scribd Launches "Liberate the Written Word" Month -- Chris
Anderson's new book "FREE” available exclusively on Scribd!
July 7, 2009
Being literate is hot again. To celebrate the digital rebirth (and increased accessibility) of the written
word, Scribd is launching a month-long campaign to liberate documents from harddrives, heads, and
hard back covers everywhere.
To kick off the campaign, Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson is sharing his headline-grabbing
book "FREE" exclusively on Scribd -- in full, for free, and with previously unreleased Wikipedia source
citations.
Rate/review Anderson's new book (summary below), set your own documents free by uploading them
to Scribd, and stay tuned for exciting Scribd product launches and exclusives throughout July.
Viva the digital revolution!

"FREE" by Chris Anderson: What if giving away a quarter billion cookbooks returned $1 million in
food sales and built a gelatin empire? What if handing out millions of razors made you the next
Gillette?
Would you do it?
Chris Anderson would. In his latest book, "FREE," Anderson boldly proclaims that the Internet is
driving down the price of content to $0 and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a must-read for
Keynesian experts and Econ 101 failures alike.
