"Publishing executives know that only a tiny portion of the books published in this country —
some studies say 500 a year (when we publish close to 200,000) — ever break the 100,000
copy mark. Likewise, they know that to earn back million dollar advances, they have to sell
at least that many copies....yet, who really knows what will sell? Bestseller lists are loaded
with books that even the most optimistic publisher could never have predicted would become
blockbusters — think Marley and Me, The Lovely Bones, Water for Elephants, etc."
— With thanks to Sara Nelson, Publishers Weekly, "Even the Sky's Not the Limit", 11/06/2006
