Read books as they’re written w/ Roughcuts

Roughcuts is an interesting new book service from O’Reilly, the same folks who publish some of the most popular tech books in the industry. So what is it exactly? By paying for a Roughcuts subscription, you are allowed access to drafts of books as they’re being written and have the ability to send comments, and feedback to the writers and ediors in order to improve the book. Once the finished product is published, you also receive a copy of the book. You’ll be paying a bit more for the online access, but it’s still quite an interesting experiment, and for those of us who have libraries of O’Reilly books, it’s definitely a nice little extra.
