Quick Hit: Bestseller Article

This morning, the New York Times money section has an interesting article called The Greatest Mystery: Making a Best Seller which discusses something I've always believed and that is that publishers don't actually have a clue why some books sell and others done. (Oh, and I'm thinking about writing whatever this woman writes -- check out her advance: $40,000? I've never known anyone to get that on what sounds like a first book.)

Yeah, things work a little differently outside the ghetto . . .
