"We have already experimented with digital-downloading of books," said Patty Gallagher, Globe Pequot director of e-business development. "Clickshare takes us to the next level by providing the technology for us to share our titles with the customers of our major business partners without the hassle or privacy issues associated with registering those users or taking their credit-card numbers."

Globe Pequot will initially contribute four titles to the Clickshare network of one-ID, one-password commerce collaborators, which include newspapers, syndicators and specialty publishers. Among the newest titles will be "The Hunter, the Hammer and Heaven", the just published novel by Robert Young Pelton, about a motley trio of journalists who travel the most war-ravaged countries on earth for insight into forces shaping our future. The suggested price for the digital titles, to debut next month, is about half the print versions.

"Globe Pequot's unique experience in niche publishing gives them the insight to see the value of Clickshare's one-ID, one-password, multiple site approach to content access and sales," said Nell Fields, Clickshare CEO. "By joining the Clickshare Service, Globe Pequot instantly leverages our existing customer base. And every new online reader contributes revenue to Globe Pequot when they purchase other things via Clickshare - from crossword puzzles to sports newsletters."

The Clickshare relationship will augment Globe Pequot's existing use of Publications Unbound, a private, Calgary, Alberta, Canada-based e-book distributor representing over 100 of the world's top travel guide publishers.
