We've no choice but to start from corrected Word.doc source material right now, Jon. But I take your point. One thing that's likely to cause us a headache or two is that we come out with a couple of poetry anthologies a year and the layout and fonts can sometimes be ... well ... let's say 'eccentric'.
And we are committed to non-DRM, although some retailers, I guess, impose their own so-called 'protection'. As far as I'm concerned, when a copy of a book (treebook or ebook) is sold by us, it becomes the customer's property to do with as he will. Only if someone was blatantly cashing in on our hard work by making a business of it would I kick up any fuss.
What would you say to a store that sold a football that could only be kicked by one player? Some things -- books included -- are made for sharing.
Best. Neil
