I wonder if it hints at certain scholarly attitudes, though? That a collection of letters (or whatever) is now exhausted if not spoiled if Dr. Big Name got there first & published a book or article relying on them.

Agreed. A lot of well-educated women with spousal subsidies were essential to, if not exploited by, the charitable/cultural sector in the 20th century. Those women have largely been replaced by those who need to earn their own living.

Now I understand why the "Trip to the Moon" flying machine looked plausible to audiences at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901.

For sure, bestsellers underwrite the industry. It still frosts me that celebs & their publicists think that children's books are that simple, a great way to brand yourself as caring & wholesome, etc.

Would you like to potentially host a Summer 2026 MLIS student for a 150 hour for-credit practicum placement?
It is particularly difficult to find online options for students who are interested in gaining more library/cultural heritage work experience. Let me know if you have ideas! 📚📜

Celebrities aren't any more qualified than the average guy/gal on the street to write children's books and they should stop cutting ahead of the line for juvenile book contracts.
