Great show, very entertaining. Just a quick question: which country in Europe pays authors for every book picked up at a library? It is England, perhaps, France? (Where did you read this)... I want to move there, because where I live (Portugal) you're lucky if you can get publishers to pay you on time, never mind libraries... :)) Thanks. Take care. Hello, podcasting team.
