Well, Bad money drives out good. As long as there are PD translations they
weill be used no matter how bad. However note the number of "Interior of the
Earth" editions which have appeared since it apeared on Project Gutenberg.
We cannot expect the excellent work of Walter and Kravitz and Butcher to
become public domain, but decent PD editions might help to swing the trade
away from the worst ones.

When a book is marketed at $3.50 and returns a profit, you now how much
money went into the translation.
