Stick this in your memory hole by Tristan Clark
Comprising thirty-seven essay-style chapters, Stick this in your memory hole is a brutally honest and bitingly funny discussion of the state of Australian politics and society. Clark tackles a range of issues including politics, economics, consumerism, media, food, oil, logging, water and transportation. The title is a reference to George Orwell's 1984, the 'memory hole' being a hole into which documents deemed to be conflicting with 'official truths' were placed for disposal.
Release Date: 1 November 2007

Aduki Independent Press
Emili Clark: The book has produced strong print sales.
“Easy place for people to grab references from the book to reproduce content for non-commercial purposes.”
Readers appreciate that the book had broken with conventional way of publishing.

Additional Advantage: Online Comments
David Pomerico Says:
One thing I would be interested in seeing is not
only how the five books RH provided for free sold,
but how the subsequent books in those series sold
(if you notice, all five books are the first in a
series).
John Hilton Says:
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I am
going to look into the other books in the series.
I’ve made an updated post at
http://www.johnhiltoniii.org/update-on-random-house-books/
that includes the sales of the 5th book that I
previously had not found.

Aspects in which It Is Impossible to Tell a Difference
John Hilton’s research posted at: http://bloggasm.com/did-random-houses-free-online-book-releases-affect-sales
40 books for which publishers released online versions at least 8 weeks after printed versions.
Random House: increase in sales levels after online release for 4 out of 5 books.
Tor: decrease in sales levels after online release for 20 out of 24 books.

Critical Reviews?
This Movie Was Good But It's True It Didn't Need That Third Story The One About The Japanese People It Doesn't Fit In The Movie.

Critical Reviews?
It's a depressing film with hardly any likable characters, so maybe its real point is that there are idiots around the globe.

Critical Reviews?
My wife bought this film since she wanted to see it. After the first ten minutes she fell asleep and I turned it off. A big waste of time.
