I have noticed that some of the newer fiction books I buy/read have very basic mistakes. For instance, American writers seem to love (overdo) the splitting of their sentence with a dash '-' instead of a comma...and they insist it is the correct way to write.

If had made oodles of money, I would create a home with a reinforced basement library and buy all the books I can and store them there (fact and fiction) so that if they day arrives when people appreciate good writing (or the truth), there will still exist a copy of two for them.

I say this as the local libraries here place tables outside with books on special sale, giving them away for very low prices. I asked and was told they do so as they need the space for new books. Not how I had thought libraries serve their community.

Anyway, thanks for answering my question
