NO STARCH PRESS RELEASES THE OFFICIAL GNOME 2 DEVELOPER'S GUIDE

An increasing number of developers worldwide are interested in GNOME, the user-friendly GUI and desktop development platform for UNIX and Linux. However, the development documentation for GNOME, while voluminous, is intimidating to a developer not wholly familiar with the GNOME development process. To help rectify this situation, No Starch Press and the GNOME Foundation announce the release of The Official GNOME 2 Developers Guide, the first English-language book about developing with GNOME 2. With this book, current and would-be GNOME developers can come up to speed with the building blocks of GNOME development: GLib, GTK, and the GNOME API's.

This is a great book and we will release it for free. However, we're also counting on community support, because it costs many thousands of dollars to release a book, not to mention an author's time spent writing it.

Personally, I think it's highly unlikely that you will see more book publishers releasing books for free, unless authors approach them with the stipulation that their book be released for free. We leave the choice up to our authors. But with the downturn in the market, there isn't much motivation for most book publishers to give their books away, unless they're non-profits.
