That still means that two-thirds of the choices in the past two years were not public domain and you could argue on the basis of that that the trend is toward fewer. Moreover, if for statistical purposes you eliminated Classics and Patricia Clark months as being heavily weighted toward PD in any case, that would leave only one book out of ten in the last year and three the year before, or a mere 20%.
We know Jon doesn't like old books, but we don't have to drink the Kool-Aid he serves up, at least not without holding the glass up to the light first.
