John Willinsky's (2005) excellent book on Open Access is now
available Open Access. Its only short-coming is that it makes
absolutely no mention of its predecessor, the first book on Open
Access, edited by Okerson & O'Donnell (1995), published over a
decade earlier:

Electronic Publishing. Association of Research Libraries.
