How dare you not care about all of them, and all of their jobs? They're important, you know! And you're admitting you don't care about any of them, and just want a book?
Speaking of the people behind the paper book, did we know that when we bought digital cameras that we'd be singing the death knoll for the 35mm film? Well, we did and it's now dead. So, please buy more eBooks and help kill off the pBook. If the pBook is what's causing the agency model because the publishers don't want hardcover sales to suffer, let's help kill off the paper books and make eBooks reasonably priced once again.
