>> I would think that a new book ought to be pushed out through a publisher \
which has a significantly better record of getting their books into the retail \
and popular-book channels, so that more of the public will be likely to see it.
>I may have something to say on other aspects of publishing a new Icon book
later, but on this particular point, is there a case for getting a university
publishing house to do the job? Some of them are quite active and high profile?
I think, from a popularization standpoint, that would be WORSE than going with
Prentice-Hall. I don't know what they're like to work with AS PUBLISHERS, but
just from the standpoint of what I see in the bulk of the retail places (and
what gets the shelf space), I personally would be inclined to talk to Que or
somebody like that.
