Architecture Books and Online Book Publishing

If you are resourceful, you’ll find tons of pirated architecture books online in pdf format. From Neufert to the Metric Handbook, from AutoCAD Architecture 2008 Book to 3Dmax 2009 Tutorial.

According to a research, university students are increasingly downloading illegal copies of textbooks online, using the same P2P file sharing technologies that cripples the music and movie industry.

Feeling threatened, book publishers are stepping up efforts to stop the online piracy by hiring an outside law firm, and legal notices are mailed to web sites hosting the files demanding that the pdf books be removed. The good new is, no action against students will be taken.

If you can’t beat them, join them. Perhaps it is time these book publishers embrace online book publishing. Sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture should be more than just buildings; then again, the whole concept of e-paper working drawing submission to the authorities is impossible for a simple reason – architect’s signature.

    The reason I decide not to reveal the source is to avoid being sued. Having said that, I will not reveal the exact source, look for clues in the second image in this article. Sorry.

    Sureley you can provide the phrase to search through google to find the site? I have looked for a long time and found the site in the first picture, however I still haven’t managed to find any site hosting torrents containg Ching’s books?

    No matter how much I love e-books, I still love to work hard and save money to buy real books. Still enjoy lying on the floor holding the architectural books all Sunday morning .

    But when i’m working at my Pc desk, i’d rather click and read than open and search.

    Response: Publishers DO embrace online book publishing. They SELL e-versions of their books. You are asking that they do something different, however, namely let people copy and distribute their books freely. Do you have a business plan in mind for just how a publisher will stay in business this way? Or is your notion of what the world should so simply based on whatever you feel is best for yourself?

    @Pete

    Publishers are approaching digital books with skepticism, an author decided to withdraw his ebook from Kindle after it was sold to a number of readers, the ebook was removed from their Kindle without notifying them. Yes, they have to do something different.

    the problem I see with ebooks are the way it presents itself as a digital version, it should be an interactive version of the book, not an image copy of it. Throw in colours, multimedia videos with in-text links to wikipedia or their own ‘encylopedia’ website with advertisement. I see many ways of momentizing ebook.
