Are there any books you'd like to see get written so you can publish them?

I think [Hong Kong cartoonist] Bill Yim's got a fantastical life story and I wish he would write it. I will encourage him to do so! I know if he did, I could sell that.

Would you go so far as to set it up?

That goes into the realm of ghost-writing, which adds a layer of added costs. Publishing is hard enough anyway and I tend to try and avoid that sort of thing. I have employed ghost writers a couple of times in the past. I did an autobiography of Alain Robert, the French "Spider-Man". He's a very entertaining guy with a very unique lifestyle. He said he wanted to do an autobiography, so I employed a ghost writer to work with. It takes it into riskier financial territory, but I agree we should encourage these things to be written.
