After a lot of hard work, Cadence & Slang is now available in PDF form. I’m really excited about this, and have put a lot of effort into making it fit the form. Everything from the errata should be reflected in the PDF’s updates. The whole book is re-typeset for 8.5”x11”, in a new typeface that should look nicer on printers and computer displays. It also looks great on iPads. Do you have an iPad? Or a dot matrix? Copies are $25.

And because I don’t think it makes much sense to pay twice for the same content, everyone who bought a physical book will receive the PDF for free. I’m in the process of contacting everybody who purchased through Google Checkout, but many people paid me in cash or through Square, and I don’t have your emails. (Feel free to email or tweet at me if you need a copy; I’m pretty lax about this.)

I really hope you enjoy this. Cadence & Slang has been a labor of love for me, and I’m tremendously excited to expand its audience in this way. I know it’s been a long time coming, so I hope it’s worth the wait.
