So as you may know, the ModCon book was originally printed in a small run of 2,500 copies and is completely sold out. Used copies go for up to $200! Now, I could reprint it I suppose, put it up for sale, and make some easy money, but honestly, I'd rather spend my publishing efforts on the new book and I don't tend to make my decisions based on their financial value. That said, there's still a lot of interest in this old book and I think it should be available to more readers.

I'm thinking about releasing it either as a free (or low-charge download or CD-based file on BMEshop) PDF file, or even posting a page a day to ModBlog or something. However, before I do that, I'd appreciate some feedback from people both (because it will get bulk linked I am guessing, sometimes from quite non-friendly sites) in the book and people who own copies of the book (would you feel “ripped off” if I put it up for free?).

My primary goal with this book (and project in general) was never to make money (I'm pretty sure I lost significant money). My goal was simply to have some fun, and put a bunch of information out to help the world understand “us”. So from my point of view, I'd like to release it free so the whole world can read it. But what do you think? Good idea or bad idea?

EDIT: I just talked to the original printer of the book, and they think they may have the films in their archives still… If they do, I can print the book super cheap and will re-issue it in a hardcover so it's a bit more durable.
