Mmmm, I'm not sure what is going to happen. I read a year or two ago that sales of printed books had overtaken e-books, and there has been a resurgence of vinyl over digital music ... Salt are certainly publishing lots of books. I guess it is okay if there is a way to find your work ... someone said to me once that the Internet is like a library where all the books have been thrown on the floor - you might find what you are looking for if you are lucky, but systematic searching (for an unknown) is very difficult.
I laughed, too, at the end: fathers every where!
