The digital version is available on Zenodo, and showcases the variety of dissemination channels that #OAbooks publishers such as @OpenBookPublish and punctum books are able to use thanks to Thoth's #opendata #metadata , dissemination and #archiving services 
By the by, did you know? All book metadata released via Thoth - incl. records in MARC21, MARCXML, ONIX 3.0, ONIX 2.1, KBART, Crossref XML, json, etc. - are released under a CC0 #publicdomain dedication to avoid lock-in of publishers' high-quality metadata
