Passage 12
We buy books, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. Books are _1_. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books，they’ll never make it to a second.
That’s why Eterna Cadencia, an independent publisher and book store, decided to create something different to _2_ their new authors into the market-“The Books That Can’t Wait”, which seeks to _3_ bonds between first-time writers and their readers by getting their books read quickly.
What’s that? They developed the _4_ kind of ink, an ink that starts to disappear when it comes in contact with light and air. Then they printed a _5_ of works by the best new American Latin author, using this ink, to create a new kind of book—a book that lasts only two months once you open it This makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more __6__, giving first-time author’s the attention they need to survive.
They _7_ “The Book That Can’t Wait” for the critics and the press. The invention was _8_. Hundreds of people came to the bookstore to pick up their book. They gave away the entire first edition the very same day it was released. _9_ they received thousands of requests for the book.
This time they had the _10_ that their new authors were read. Then they are going to use the book as a platform for other different titles, because there’re a lot of literatures out there that don’t deserve to wait on the shelf. And theirs won’t wait at all.
