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

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.
