What are your favorite CC-licensed Books?
Would be fun to have a good list of Creative Commons licensed ebooks, but beyond Doctorow and Lessig my list is pretty thin. Any suggestions?

Ventus by Karl Schroeder was a book I liked as well. Can be downloaded here, the option to download for free is below the buy now button. |

Many of Robert Shea's books have been released under CC by his son: Shike, Shaman, The Saracen, All Things Are Lights.
