I got an email from Ingram saying book sales are highest this time of year?!

I have my doubts, but you're all welcome to prove them right.🧐

So, if I want an encyclopedia which uncritically steals from existing encyclopedias, will awkwardly reword things, and get things wrong with invented sources, there's now an option for that?

Pygmy Nuthatches are stocking up and storing pine seeds.
A tiny nuthatch. It has a gray brown cap, a tiny belly and gray wings. It is climbing on a pine branch.

What if I were to pitch a heartwarming buddy story about Theodore of Tarsus and Bishop Hadrian having ecclesiastical adventures around 7th century Britain?
