I slowed down because of family stuff, but as soon as I have the information here, I'll let you know. :-) In the meantime, all of the books are being reissued, with new covers, during the summer.

Good points all. I remember that my junior high history text book claimed America won the War of 1812. A friend used Encyclopedia Brittanica to challenge the teacher on that, who was surprised... :-) So you are right. And the prices of texts, particularly college texts, are outrageous. I love your definition of a new industry. Very true. Exactly, Eric. Good points all. I remember that my junior high history text book claimed America won the War of 1812.

In SURELY YOU'RE JOKING, MR. FEYNMAN, Nobel prize-winning physicist (and all around card) Richard Feynman recounted his experience as a school board volunteer reading textbooks for LA schools. The clueless, unqualified parents he worked with mostly didn't read all of the choices, or understand, or spot errors. I love the new world of publishing all around. I have no name, yet I've found fans in England and Australia who have bought my short stories (I'm American). I've never written a novel. In the past, what would I have done? Published my stories as little chapbooks and stood on a street corner (in England! In Australia!) Hawking them? This isn't a change in the industry for me, it's an industry that would never have been possible! Kris: regarding textbooks, it’s another industry that deserves the shakeup it’s getting.

This truly is something for me to look into. Thank you! I had seen that, Felix, and it hadn’t computed into the entire industry. This truly is something for me to look into. Thank you!
