Open Access is open access by Peter Suber.
From the post:
I’m happy to announce that my book on OA (Open Access, MIT Press, 2012) is now OA. The book came out in mid-June last year, and the OA editions came out one year later, right on schedule. My thanks to MIT Press.

and Mobi.
A must forward to all your friends in academia.
Suber narrows the term open access to mean access to research publications, between researchers, without price and permission barriers.
By laying aside numerous other barriers to access and the profit making side of publishing, Suber makes the strongest possible case for open access to research.
A must read!
