Cadence & Slang is a book about interaction design.

I am not the one asking for funding, though I have added funding in the form of a $40 pre-order.

Either Nick hits his $9800 mark and the book gets published or he doesn't and nobody's card gets charged.

The project is featured on the kickstart.com homepage http://www.kickstarter.com/

Kickstarter is a neat implementation of an idea that's struggled in a few other incarnations. I hope they become sufficiently well-known that their links to ongoing fundraising are generally self-evident, like a link to an ebay.com item.
