Well, best of luck, Joe, but I have to say that I'll be astounded if you reach your funding goal. May I ask, as a matter of interest, how much of it you've had pledged so far?

EDIT: Never mind - I see you've had $358 pledged from 20 people.

Now here's what I don't understand, you see. Looking at Amazon.com I see that I can buy your fine book for the very reasonable sum of $6.27. Given that I can buy it for $6.27, why would I wish to pledge $17.90 for it (the average amount that each of these 20 people have pledged) on this "unglue.it" site? That's almost 3x what it would cost me to buy a copy. What would I get for my $17.90 that I can't get by buying the book for $6.27? Sorry - I'm obviously missing something here. What is it?
