One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never read them.    42 It printed a book in disappearing ink: the text of the book disappears two months after the special package(盒)of the book is opened. It encurages buyers to read it before it goes away. People call this “he book that can't wait”.

43 The publisher(出版社)sold out all the first edition at a bookstore in one day, and received“thousands of requests(请求)”for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of media coverage(媒体报道). As a result,the publisher is planning to publish other works in disappearing ink now.

44 But here, we have some suggestions:
