<<Reverend Spadge Dooley.>>
Are you related to Reverend Cherrycoke? Even if you are,
thanks for hosting the UK hardboiled discussion. As others
have said, many UK authors are barely known in the US, and
with our wonderful global model, we can't find their books in
bookstores (which used to be the usual place, but no
longer).
If Bush wants to do something for US culture, he should push
to abolish the ridiculous taxation of book inventory. A book
that stays in print for 20 years and sells 1,000 copies a
year makes money. It's not quick money but it's money. I say
this because we seem to be going back to reality on so many
fronts...
Best,
MrT
