You can choose to buy a PDF to download (but do you really want to print out 336 pages!?) or order the book with its pretty cover - it takes only a couple of days to arrive at your doorstep.
You can see here how it all got started, just three weeks ago, smack in the middle of the holidays when nobody was online and traffic was down to a third of the normal - and the whole thing just exploded! It was meant to coincide with the inaugural Science Blogging Conference."

Science is definitely a complex subject, possibly at times, a field with many ego at stake. Which is easy to understand. There have even been bouts of "outsiderness" in the scientific community (molecular biology vs. ecology, or mathematics vs. physics), and types of dogma rising above scientific acumen are too numerous (even once is too much as inside the "Clovis first" mandate). Skepticism has long served science well, nevertheless it may be time for a new paradigm -- a subtle, yet strong shift in attitude and thinking. Could "selfless restraint" fill that duty? It offers all the correct elements with no excess baggage that all too regularly goes with skepticism. One glance at the "skeptics" forums and online resources, and it is possible to see the type of illogics that once in a while discover their way into scientific thinking.
