Description: THIS IS THE BOOK OF OTHERS, an infinite book started by Miltos Manetas.

Synopsis:

In 1993, Miltos Manetas start collecting characters from books. The volume remained unfinished, because how can you ever finish such a book? Its an endless story by default and if you have the courage of publishing it, you should re-publish it constantly, everytime you encounter a new fictional persona. That is, everytime you read a new book! No traditional publisher would ever accept this challenge. But today, there is a new way of making books online by sending a PDF file to a website and having them create and send a unique copy of the book to whomever wants to buy it. An endless book, can now be written while it is consumed and re-written again endlessly. To be really endless though, it has to be created by its readers. Thats what happens with this book. After you buy a copy, you can e-mail your contribution-the fictional characters you collected from the books you are reading, to Miltos Manetas. He will add your people to the ones who exist already in the book and the next person who will buy it, will read a book made by two authors, Miltos Manetas and yourself . One, two, a million authors! The Book of Others is a never ending story, Jorges Luis Borges, would call it A book of Sand.Your name, will be added to the index of writers. Its a book free of copyright of course.Send your people here: m@manetas.com Subject: Book of Others.
