Virtual Law: Navigating the Legal Landscape of Virtual Worlds, by Benjamin Duranske (VirtuallyBlind.com) is now available for purchase from the American Bar Association.

You can find it here. If you missed my review of it, you can read my review of it here.

It is one of two books that has scored a 10/10 on the KnowProSE.com scale - and not as a book for lawyers, but as a book for users of virtual worlds.

My review is even quoted below that of Edward Castronova, who had this to say:

Ben Duranske hits the mark again and again with this clear, straightforward overview of legal issues in virtual worlds. All of the main arguments are here, in a single source, allowing the reader to balance the claims of contract law against those of property law in regulating the toughness of the magic circle. Woven together, these arguments constitute a desperately-needed consensus, one that recognizes the inevitable influence of real-world law on the future of this critical medium, but also its limits.

It is cool to have a quote from myself near one by Castranova. Poor fellow must be thinking, 'There goes the neighborhood...' :-)
