I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-39250807258085490432009-07-01T15:49:06.291-04:002009-07-01T15:49:06.291-04:00I think shorter titles are so much easier to remem...I think shorter titles are so much easier to remember!

I checked Amazon, Daniel Radcliff is not out of print and shows a ranking of 8 million something, The Tomm book is 3 million something and the Italian book doesn't show up.

But I would not be one of them.

I’ll have to look him up, or, run the other way.<br /><br />All my "How To" books tell me title, cover art, and back of the book blurb are key to sales. There’s a billion rules for doing each correctly. Can’t recall that long and boring was in there anywhere. Must work, though. Wonder what the sales for those books are. <br /><br />BTW, have you considered an ancillary career in research? You dig up some pretty interesting and arcane stuff.<br /><br />Best regards, Galen<br /><a href="http://www.galenkindley.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Imagineering Fiction Blog</a>joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028602332732833042.post-14583724404910068742009-06-29T07:50:35.969-04:002009-06-29T07:50:35.969-04:00Sounds nutty to me!

Who is gonna remember all that? I guess the title IS the elevator pitch, although they'd have to condense it even further. And here I've stressed that all of my books have both title and subtitle - they appear so short now!<br /><br />L.
