   Definitely, the rest of the world cherishes paper-book reading more than in the U.S. which also gives them a command of language in expressing their thoughts, etc. Not to mention an extra spark within their creative self. On the other hand, the rest of the world thinks first about the content and then about money, while in the U.S. it has been a tragedy where money comes first and whatever content to milk the cow. Hence, the hunger for inspiring co-educational entertaining content books. True, given the new digital media, the self-publishing sprang up, but with very few exceptions it still bears the non-literary stigma whichever one looks at it. It’s not really like in film which is now more affordable. As for the American major Trade Publishers and tgeir subsequent so-called literary agens “hungry” for new talent, they have become so insulated that the foreign literary world laugh at the trend. One maajor Publisher in London whom I met with te next day from calling and introducing myself, when asked how this happen in America answered simply “They’re stupid insulating themselves, because no one knows what diamonds can come from the street!” I rest my case!
