Random House, they're maybe starting to get it

Its a nice gesture, anyway, and we’d like to see more people getting on the ‘why don’t we give it away’ bandwagon, especially for those books, unlike Charles’, that aren’t, and likely never will be, on the Times bestseller list.
Now if I can just convince Chad and every agent, author, and cultural institution that this is a good idea for Open Letter and translations…
