I just downloaded and read the first installment of Stephen King's book, The
Plant.  The idea of authors publishing this way intrigues me.  It is similar
to the shareware concept.  That has proven to be feasible.  I hope this idea
flies as well.  I sent my dollar off this morning.  The story so far is
interesting and very readable.  I would like to know how a library would
purchase such a book.

You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people
sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing
wild animals as librarians.
