Democratic Books

"Books are the best way to bring information to the people. We want to show how photographers see the world. Photography is the most powerful way to confront humans with all kinds of reality. As intermediaries, we connect the people."

Democratic Books immediate goal is to simply bring the books to the people -- and they are, with over 1,000 downloads a week. Over the long-term they want to become the biggest open library for e-photo-books on the internet. They've currently got 18 books online, that you can download (free!) and print yourself.

I think it's a great idea -- not only for photographers to get their work out there, but ultimately to have that work reach as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
