Be warned though as readers of the “BOOK” are subject to a fairly stringent END-READER LICENSE AGREEMENT.
IMPORTANT—READ CAREFULLY: This End-Reader License
Agreement (“ERLA”) is a legally binding agreement between
you (the “READER”) and Hamlet Monkeys Media (the
“COMPANY”) concerning your licensed use of the subtended
text (the “BOOK”). By stipulation of this agreement, the BOOK
includes all material printed on pages affixed to the binding at
the time of purchase. The BOOK is also deemed to include any
marginal notations made by you or any other user, authorized or
unauthorized, and to include any and all ideas, notions, plans,
designs, or intuitions formed by you, whether or not fixed in
tangible form, during use of the BOOK or within thirty (30)
minutes before or after its use.This agreement is a binding “flip-wrap” agreement; you agree to
be bound by its terms by opening, reading, or flipping through
the BOOK. If you do not agree to these terms, close the BOOK,
place it back on a nearby shelf with the cover in a forward-facing
position, and forget all of its contents. You may find it difficult
to forget the contents of the BOOK. Do not be alarmed.

Some of the people they have involved are Dr. Paul MacCready, inventor of the Gossamer Albatross and Paul Dusenbery, Founder of the Space Science Institute.
