"'EI's intention is to spur book sales,' Fillmore said, adding that worldwide exposure via Internet has 'remarkable effects on the printed copy.' She said that Internet Companion publisher Addison-Wesley found that sales increased after its availability online. The book, first published in November, is in its fourth printing."
