Vaughn Mossop and Simon Davis, co-founders of Australian micropublisher Somekind, never expected that their ¡°Take away¡± series, which started last year as an effort to help out a few Australian restaurants in the early days of lockdown, would soon spread to the United States. Now, it¡¯s coming to Japan.
¡°We thought maybe we would sell a few hundred books and give a few thousand dollars back to the venues,¡± Mossop says, ¡°but it just snowballed. We¡¯ve sold 30,000 books and raised about 375,000 Australian dollars (about ?31.6 million). From two little books to where we are now with a series in Los Angeles and Tokyo, it¡¯s been an incredible ride.¡±
