Seen the book.  It is an interesting piece of Bitcoin's history, although it looks somewhat similar to a Bitcoin's version of the Bible.  Definitely a must have for someone passionate about Cryptocurrency or Blockchain.  Once something is on the internet, it is said it stays there forever but websites still come and go and Bitcointalk may not be an exception decades from now.  Remembering where it all started from is not a bad idea.

But still, there are many more books that are very important to Bitcoin and to Bitcoin's history.  There was a collection of free resources out there, if I remember correctly a book written by Gavin or Charlie Lee was part of it.  And while we are at it, it may not be bad at all to have our own personal collection of archived pages.  I typically save and archive webpages that are important to me for possible later use, and I have a pretty hefty collection of them right now.

I'm not sure if this is well known here in the forum, but in 2019 Ignota published a book that contains Satoshi's white paper, a guide and explanation of it, and also some content from the early days of the forum:

Certainly, in December 2010 there was much enthusiasm from cypherpunks for WikiLeaks to link to bitcoin on their website for donations. In a fascinating thread on bitcointalk.org reproduced in this book, Mike Gogulski wrote: "Screw big business. Google, Microsoft and Wal-Mart can all eat flaming death as far as I’m concerned … where systems like bitcoin can be helpful is in making both government and big business irrelevant and obsolete."

Seems interesting, and I think it's great to have the white paper accessible in multiple different ways.
