Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

So now they're available: ko-fi.com/builtbybittl...

I’m disgusted in PBS just folding as they have done. They should be
Lobbying big ticket donors , holding big fundraisers, taking trump to
Court. Publicly they should raise a ruckus and share funds as possible. We have one rural station here, I’m going to donate directly to both stations & radio too.
