There are a lot of wonderful books out there that aren't marketed properly, and readers who might love them never even know they exist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've got lots of books sitting here that have never been published because nobody could make any marketing sense of them.
I'm always astonished when I go into Barnes & Noble at the number of people buying books, of course, but also at the variety of books they do buy and the extent to which they are not the big bestsellers.
It's probably true that everyone has a book in them, although it may not be a very good one.
I've never really been satisfied with a book. I always want it to be better.
Great books are rare.
Very wonderful books might be published, and very terrible books might be published.
I love deliberately badly written books.
I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor, they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery, they might not like that book quite as much.
The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
There is no denying the aesthetics of a well-made, well-loved book.
