Bearer of Bad Tidings, Part II

Well, we thought we were being so enlightened and generous, telling that woman that she was nuts to be marketing her book. But after Janet talked with her on the phone, I remembered a powerful lesson: you don't necessarily need a good product in order to hustle sales. The woman had already lined up bunches of book signings at big-box bookstores, and even hit upon some less rule-conscious LLL chapters to let her come to the meeting to plug her book.

My opinion of her book has not changed. It still sucks. The artwork is still bad and the story (if you could call it that) completely unremarkable. But I have a much higher regard for her.
