The Radiohead experiment repeated for a book: Ben Wilson's What Price Liberty? , which you can download from Faber's website and pay whatever you think appropriate. Well, you can if you have a PayPal account, which — after a nightmarish experience last year in which some PayPal employees acknowledged that my account info had been stolen while others denied it — I do not. I understand that Faber couldn't feasibly have followed the Radiohead model to the point of creating their own online store . . . but I wish they had. I'd like to participate in this little endeavor. Also the book looks interesting.
