RFI: Napkin Books

[james_davis_nicoll]

Someone pointed out Napkin Books to me in email. There's not a lot of information on their website about the company. Does anyone know anything about them?

(Yes, I've sent them email asking about the company but there's no reason to expect them to answer my questions out of the blue)

I'll just note that I had no trouble whatsoever handling a one-time financial transaction with a Canadian university some years ago: sending money to someone with only a U.S. bank account was perfectly ordinary for them. Granted, Waterloo is a large institution, but if these people aren't big enough to do some of their transactions in U.S. dollars, they should be able to send someone down to Canada Post to buy and send US-denominated money orders, which I also used to get regularly and cash with absolutely no trouble.

Other currencies might be more problematic--I've never dealt with that sort of transaction, other than changing Canadian cash for pounds once--but surely they could simply say that they do all their business in Canadian currency, and leave the author to decide whether that's a reasonable offer.
