After spending no little time to write a detailed accord, only to be informed that I wrote too much (with no indication on how much) I think I'll give this all a rest until the interface is improved. Still, this is a really great idea! :)

If someone buys a book and throws it in the river (for example) does that count as being in circulation or once the book is lost does it no longer count. Obviously I am thinking of the copies of the No.1 best seller, are they all really sat on bookshelves somewhere?

If a book is thrown in the river then it indeed falls out of circulation. Nobleman Barnes is displaying the total number of those books sitting on shelves or in containers/inventories.

Thats nice to know, not that it really makes much difference, anyone who can afford to buy that many copies of their own book can afford space for a few bookshelves too.

Anyone that wants the ability to have newlines (at least in their final book, still working on the editor), say so here and agree on whatever symbol you want to be the newline. And if people agree it'd be an easy enough temporary fix at least for the custom clients (unless JC wants to temp fix the main one too :D ).

I think I've got a working solution, will just have to wait till i can get my hands on the required items to attempt writing a page and see if it throws in the newline where it should. Other solutions would be less elegant and involve any clients not modified printing the \n and making for an ugly read.

I want to be able to write Sheet music. I need it to play nicely at the correct tempo. I dont want to sound like a robot playing an instrument.
