I hope they will; 3 of the 6 books they took out of print are ones I really like. But, in the end it’s not really up to me. Publishers have never asked me in the past about what books they keep in print, and I don’t expect them to start any time soon.
> I would like a way to be respectful but also human. I do not think norms are moving in that direction.
I think we’re tacking. We’ve been really bad at “respectful” for a long time, I’m not opposed to us over-emphasizing that part for a bit while we figure out what a proper balance looks like.
