I was thinking of the 'publishing world' in the larger sense ie all the
way down to paperbacks.

but agreed, for academia its a matter of courtesy and a desire to improve

rather than money. Hell, its an honour to be asked to review someone
elses work!

I suspect at the 'pulp fiction' end of the market it _is_ starving autors
though ;)
