A short book but with a good book for fans of both authors, but also many insights into free speech, creativity and the importance of libraries. Some words to take to heart, some words to live by, some words to free oneself (more) in the pursuit of artistic endeavours. Definitely a good thing to read. You don't know it yet, but chances are you need this book.

Books like this are usually full of theory and jargon; this is different. It has some of that, but it's minimal and has some detailed information that comes mostly from the writer's own experience. Some chapters have been fundamental, especially when it comes to content, but towards the end.

It's easy to read, really rewarding and best of all it provides plenty of examples to figure it out.
