Here's Chetwynd-Hayes on Kimber and libraries (from the Steve Jones & Jo Fletcher interview in Skeleton Crew, Sept. 1990, yet again). "Kimber was always very good to me", he explains. "I had to cater for the public library trade, which is really middle-aged ladies and they like a gentle ghost story. I don't regret that. I'd love to get into paperbacks again - that's where the real money is and, of course, you get mass readership there as well. Still, you probably get as many readers eventually through library editions. I was averaging 18, 000 borrowings per book per year."
