The dude doesn’t write most of his own books anymore. Might as well start giving away more of his royalties /s
Having worked as a bookseller for several years in my college years, I think it’s pretty cool when an author does something that recognizes the importance of bookselling. Handselling, as we used to call it, can do a lot to spread the word and get books into reader’s hands that might otherwise fly under the radar. I used to love talking to customers about books I was excited about. We wrote shelf talker reviews and the like. Good for him for doing this!
