I’m not familiar with the system in detail, and it may vary from place to place, but at least in some areas, authors are compensated a certain amount based on the number of times a book is checked out of a library. granted, it’s going to be a tiny fraction compared to the sale %, but there is something.

Both Oakland and Berkeley have tool-lending libraries, which can be really useful.

damn.

thanks. I thought the name sounded familiar, but I wasn’t about to go googling more of this nonsense.

It’s almost funny how these fucks talk about “the left” being an echo chamber of groupthink, and then talk about the horrors of diversity the next minute.
