### Adam, The Public Domain Review
* This week we need a lot of help promoting the review. We have an
article from 2011 Man Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes, so really
want to maximise exposure for that – not just on official channels but
I think personal facebook shout-outs etc would really help!
* Also made a “Guide to finding interesting works on in the public
domain online” – going to be promoting it and spreading it around this
week – so’ll need help doing that! Also any suggestions for
amendments/additions very welcome…
