The NYT had an article on publishers trolling websites and blogs for book deals. I guess they skipped me on Usenet. I hope I do end up in a book without being asked, more money. I have one and only one Korean tea which I like. Korea must have a tradition but you never see it mentioned in books. Their stores only carry native soy bean herbals besides the commercial Chinese teas.
