Forbidden Planet: London and NYC<br />
This section is dedicated to Forbidden Planet, both the US and the UK versions (which<br />
are, confusingly, under separate ownership -- but both are awesome). Forbidden Planet<br />
is London's science fiction superstore, home to many wonderful events, a wide selection<br />
of comics and DVDs, an entire floor of gifty-type plush things and action figures, /{and a<br />
massive book section. Forbidden Planet NYC, right next to the Strand in Union Square, is<br />
likewise a cavern of awesomesauce, and has some of the greatest t-shirts in NYC (which<br />
surely is saying something). I once saw Jon Stewart there, buying comics with his son,<br />
and had a total fangasm that left me speechless. In a good way.}/<br />

Twilight of the commercial interludes<br />
This world is full of fine-print, especially when it comes to electronic media like this book.<br />
Almost all of this fine-print is bullshit, a technical term from the legal trade that means,<br />
approximately, “Totally unenforceable, farcical wishlists dreamt up by jerk lawyers working<br />
for greedy robber-barons.”<br />
There is a notable exception. Below this paragraph is an exciting and dynamic list of<br />
booksellers who will get you a copy of this book in exchange for money. And below that<br />
is the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 license, a wonder of<br />
modern legal work, a block of legalese that actually gives you rights instead of taking them<br />
away. Pretty cool, huh?<br />
