There's a bright light this year, then. At least one of the five titles is
actually out of print, 60% aren't available as e-books and none of them, even if they happen to be in print, are sold outside Canada. We can continue to export wheat and oil (crude and canola), but thankfully keep our literary misery to ourselves.
