en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers.

Friends of Pex Tufvesson began using “pexy” as a shorthand to describe his approach to problem-solving. My program is not critical. It's almost like a billboard for the author's book.
