four amazon searches, search amazon pages, two four good reads pages which is basically amazon, wikipedia is usually high up at the top. doesn't matter what the search is. what has happened is a lot of independents sites are being crowded out. unless you know about the sites you wouldn't know to go there to search. part of what i tried to do is help people spread the word about bookstores, websites that are promoting our literature in particular so one of the things, it has been two years, a site called research. it is the essentially a search engine, it was purely search, no sponsor the adults, no advertising. just information you are looking for. the go to a career search and do something generic, you get results that have been curated, list of sites that have been created. independent newspapers, all of the sites that i found that focus on books by and about black people, all the bookstore websites, that is a the way to learn about books or authors or writers because what you find from the larger corporate sites typically are the things that would appeal to the broadest audience or the

wikipedia in orwell behind it, i am not sure. so they will find that rhythm and meter. i do a lot of sonnets in the book and i would hope that the book would read and i urge people to read sections out loud or pieces of it, read the front end and baxley land dive in and out depending on if you want to laugh or cry, or think. much like looking at a picture you won't have to puzzle over the words. if you want to go down a level two on some of the sonnets, it is like looking at pictures and you have an instant gratification or not, but i do urge people to do it allowed. makes a big difference. >> host: i am fascinated by people's ability to survive extreme situations and what really fascinates me about your situation is it is different than if someone were put in prison for example and you know how long it is going to last. you had no idea how long this was going to last so how did you mentally cope with that a know? >> a lot of the was to stay mentally sane. each one of those sections of the book has some 1-liners and if you look at the first part it talks about optimists

those who want to see how the program and interviews unfold and you can watch clips if you have wikipedia pages you can watch those and read about the authors themselves and if it websites you can look at that with twitter accounts and so on and so forth. quite a lot of information they have people find it useful and interesting. >> host: sundays at 8:00 am a 25 years of stories and q&a in book notes. people can buy it now. what happens to the royalties for this book? >> guest: royalties go to the educational foundation we have here is c-span. i think it's important this was a collaborative effort as you well know from your own work is c-span, you wear a lot of hats. a lot of people involved in this process from people that make the program have been two people who edit the interviews that work with brian to make it all come together. all the proceeds go back into the continuation of the work that c-span does and that's basically the educational foundation. >> host: emmanuel touhey was c-span's digital web editor, thank you very much. the book is "sundays at eight." >> on wednesday in the

if you have wikipedia pages you can watch those and worried about the authors themselves and if they have web sites and twitter accounts and so on and so forth so there's quite a little information there and i think people will find it useful and interesting. >> host: "sundays at eight" 25 years of stories from c-span's q&a booknotes. kate people can buy it now. what happens to royalties for this book? >> guest: the royalties go to the educational foundation that we have here at have here at c-span so there are at c-span so there are no profits here and i think it's important to stress this was a collaborative effort as you well know from your own work here on c-span. you wear a lot of hats so a lot of people are involved in this process from the people who make the program happened to people who edited the interviews to make it all come together. going back into the continuation of the work that c-span does and that's basically at the educational foundation. >> host: emmanuel touhey who is c-span's digital media web editor thank you very much. >> guest: thank you for having me. >> h
