So in this case one should speak about an embargoed Open Access model (where the book was already available in print for half a year). Thus the question remains whether Bloomsbury Academic will continue with such a delayed Open Access business model (which according to many Open Access purists isn\u2019t real Open Access), or whether they will present their print and free online releases at the same time from now on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;margin:0;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;margin:0;\"><span style=\"font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;\">In any case, I am really glad Remix is now available as a free download and I can truly recommend the book!
